She rescues girls forced into servitude in Tanzania

It's estimated that more than 100,000 young girls have been tricked into a life of fear and, in effect, slavery. They end up in being sold to households where they are forced to work from sunrise to sunset. Others end up being sold as prostitutes. Their parents are told that the girls will be given work and educational opportunities. Newsday's Alan Kasujja has visited a place set up to help these youngsters. It's called The Kiota Woman's Health and Development centre and its founder is Justa Mwaituka.
