Details
Wanawake Wakatoliki Tanzania (“Catholic Women of Tanzania”), popularly known as WAWATA, is a unifying body of all Catholic women in Tanzania for the promotion of their contribution and participation towards their own development, in the Church and in society. Established by the Catholic Women of Tanzania in 1972, WAWATA promotes the teaching of the Church to achieve individual and collective spiritual formation and development to uphold and defend Christian education / teaching and values in the modern changing world. WAWATA works closely with all institutions involved in the spiritual formation and evangelization through Small Christian Communities by the promotion of socio-economic empowerment and development to emancipate women from oppression, to enable them to attain equal rights and opportunities in decision-making organs. Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Tanzania supports these objectives.
KAS and WAWATA have a longstanding history of common project work. Their activities concentrate on topics like interfaith dialogue, voter education or social market economy. The collaboration's main focus lies on the Christian view of man, Christian values and their practical translation into political and social routines. On 19th March 2011 a leadership training for 150 representatives of WAWATA from Dar es Salaam diocese took place to structurally strengthen the association and its role as a multiplier.
