Girls often arrive at the Safe House of Hope for Girls and Women Tanzania (HGWT) late at night with just the clothes on their backs. Those arriving on foot have to navigate from remote, rural areas in the dark. Girls know about the Safe Houses as a result of awareness sessions done at school clubs or community awareness outreach programs.
