MUWEZESHE MAMA CHARITY PROJECT
Muwezeshe Mama Project
My name is Shali Brütsch, a Tanzanian woman living in Switzerland. I am a wife, a mother of three, and someone who is passionate about hard work and helping people in need.
When I arrived in Switzerland in 2015, I faced many challenges. Everything was new to me—the culture, the language, the social environment, and even finding my way around. During this difficult period, I decided to buy a sewing machine and teach myself how to sew.
Six months later, I received a heartbreaking call from my sisters in Tanzania. A pregnant woman from our village had died as a result of domestic violence. The news deeply affected me. It reminded me of the hardships I had experienced while living in Tanzania and the violence my own mother endured.
That moment changed my life.
I became determined to use my sewing skills to help women facing gender-based violence, early marriage, and poverty. Through workshops in sewing, tie-dyeing, cooking, and basket weaving, I wanted to provide women with practical skills that could help them become more confident, independent, and financially secure.
In 2018, Muwezeshe Mama was born.
The project was created to empower underprivileged women and girls in Tanzania by providing opportunities, education, and skills development. Our mission is to help communities fight against early marriage, poverty, gender inequality, and environmental destruction while creating pathways toward sustainable livelihoods.
Today, Muwezeshe Mama continues to support women and families by promoting self-reliance, dignity, and hope for a better future.

PS. (more details about the project is coming soon; but you can still reach me for more information). Thank you.
I have been a part of bringing up new project initiative of "green again" which aim at planting local trees on destroyed areas and giving awareness to the community about climate change.
There is a campaign which is titled as"Ndoa ni upendo na sio vita", which means marriage is"love and not awar". I 100% support the idea of having such campaign.Some people says: "everything thing matterswhen it comes to you" . Other women or men may not understand what does the campaign have to do with our standards of living, but for those wentthrough tuff marriages or relationships have a clear understanding.
A library is the only single place you can go to lean something new, be comforted, terrified thrilled, saddened, overjoyed or excited all in one day and for free. But for Haraka primary School it has been one of the dreams since it was established.

For many years, I have proudly worn African outfits as part of my cultural heritage. African fashion is a treasure shared by people across the continent, especially in East Africa. The beauty of African clothing, the vibrant colors and patterns of the fabrics, and the confidence and elegance they bring to those who wear them have inspired my creativity.
I create jewelry, home décor, children's fabric toys, and clothing designed to suit each individual while embracing current styles and trends. Through my work, I aim to showcase the authenticity and rich culture of Africa, particularly Tanzania, through fashion and design.
When you wear clothing made by me, you are not only supporting my dream but also helping to empower a group of underprivileged women in Tanzania. Every purchase contributes to creating opportunities, preserving cultural traditions, and making a positive impact in our community.
