Celebrating a milestone for Wanawake Tunaweza Tanzania
We are proud to share that Wanawake Tunaweza Tanzania last week we officially celebrated its launch in Tanzania!

This special event brought together the incredible women from the groups we coach—women who are building and growing their own joint businesses with determination and vision.

We were honoured to have representatives from the Arusha District Council, Sombetini Council, and other iNGOs join us, along with:
Our guest speaker Jessy
Our local project manager Makala
Our Tanzanian Board Members Albert and Kisamo

And most importantly: our powerful women, whose resilience and collaboration inspire everything we do.
A heartfelt asante sana to the Amani group, who organised the entire day so beautifully.
Here’s to empowering women, strengthening communities, and building a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive.

Mijlpalen vieren met Wanawake Tunaweza Tanzania!
Wanawake Tunaweza Tanzania zet zich in om vrouwengroepen de tools te geven die ze nodig hebben om duurzame financiële en sociale stabiliteit te bereiken.

We zijn blij te kunnen meedelen dat twee van onze groepen, Uwaba en Mwangaza, een belangrijke mijlpaal hebben bereikt: ze zijn nu klaar om onafhankelijk van elkaar te opereren! 🎉
Uwaba, gecoacht door een van onze eerste vrijwilligers, is uitgegroeid tot een sterke, zelfvoorzienende groep die meerdere landbouwgerelateerde activiteiten uitvoert, waaronder het hoeden van melkkoeien. 🐄
Mwangaza is gegroeid door hun rijsthandel, een hoeksteen van de Tanzaniaanse maaltijden, en is sterker en veerkrachtiger geworden dan ooit tevoren. 🌾
Hoewel we deze groepen hebben "losgelaten" om plaats te maken voor nieuwe, is dit geen vaarwel! We blijven verbonden, klaar om ondersteuning en begeleiding te bieden wanneer dat nodig is.

Aan Uwaba en Mwangaza: jullie harde werk en toewijding inspireren ons allemaal. Op uw voortdurende succes en om samen nog meer gemeenschappen te verheffen! ✨

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the strength and resilience of women. This year Wanawake Tunaweza Tanzania is proud to participate in the official celebration of International Women's Day 2025 in Arusha. Today, the groups will be showcasing their different crafts and businesses as well as highlighting their achievements and ongoing efforts towards financial independence. But the celebration goes beyond just today, as we are happy to see that each group will celebrate International Women’s Day throughout the week during their weekly meetings.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our true admiration for all the women in the groups. Their work is more than economic progress; it is a statement of resilience and a challenge to gender disparities. These women are the backbone of their communities, driving change through their dedication.

We hope you all have a great International Women’s Day!
