The headquarters of MHOLA are in the Tanzanian small town of Bukoba at the shore of Lake Victoria and the regional capital of Kagera. Twice a week they offer consultation hours in their club house-during which time women are able to speak to advocates and legal officers. These then decide in which way MHOLA can help. Primarily the conflicts are about land ownership and violence against women and children. Depending on a case to case basis, the help can range from a simple consultation to the writing of official letter and legal documents up to legal representation in court. And are successful. Of the 1166 cases that MHOLA has worked on between 2007-2011, 860 are closed cases mostly with a successful outcome for the clients of MHOLA. The Judiciary system in Tanzania is advanced, however many people, especially those living in the country, do not have access to legal representation and knowledge, and therefore are unable to defend themselves on legal grounds.

MHOLA works with SAWAKA in different livelihood programs like training of elderly women on their rights and entletlements, to train village based  para legal workers on human rights etc
