Opened in 2011, Courage House is a long-term rehabilitation program for minor victims of sex trafficking in Moshi, Tanzania. Ten years ago, Courage House Tanzania opened to 10 girls and 2 babies. As of December 2020, 36 girls and 8 of their children call Courage House and Courage House Too home! 

The foundation of Courage House is to:

Rescue the most vulnerable: young girls trapped in sexual slavery and exploitation.

Restore the girls’ physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health through education, around-the-clock care, trauma-informed counseling, music & sports, and much more. 

Rehabilitate each girl through their specially-designed Unique Life Plan and further education, vocational training and life skills.

Courage House Too is a transitional program for former members of Courage House, ages 18+.

This program allows them to gain leadership and vocational training skills (sewing, jewelry making, and cookery), develop their English and computer skills, and make the transition to adult life with a solid foundation.

We support these girls through their college/university education or vocational training program so they can follow their dreams, and ensure they won’t be trapped in the life of sexual exploitation ever again.

At Courage House Too, we have future lawyers, social workers, journalists, tailors, business women, hospitality workers, hair stylists and teachers (just to name a few)!

Almost two years ago, we had ten Courage House Tanzania girls off to college, university and vocational training but no funds.

Brainstorming ways to raise money for their education, the girls began to create handmade products to sell to small volunteer teams. These products were immediately a hit!

This is how Courage Products was born: imparting meaningful skills & hard work to the Courage girls, while raising money for their further education!
