Majority of women in Karatu District are illiterate, unaware of existing entitlements and their involvement in land administration is limited. Our practical experience reveals that women's access to land and property is central to women's economic empowerment as land can serve as a base for food production and income generation. TAJPI will therefore facilitate Land formalization and acquisition of Title Deeds to 100 women. In a long run, it will promote human rights to women community
Our findings (Assessment of Land Ownership to Women, Karatu, TAJPI 2019) indicate that the majority of women within villages are illiterate; unaware of any existing entitlements and lacking in sufficient assets to fight for their rights, and that their involvement in land administration institutions is limited.

Women's access to land and property is central to women's economic empowerment, as land can serve as a base for food production and income generation, as collateral for credit and as a means of holding savings for the future. Enabling women to access land in Karatu District, TAJPI will facilitate Land formalization and acquisition of Title Deeds to 100 women
In a long run, TAJPI anticipate empowering women through the promotion of human rights.
