Happy Workers’ Day! 💼✨

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of every worker. Let us also recognize entrepreneurship as a powerful and legitimate form of employment. It is time to fully embrace and support the informal entrepreneurship sector as a vital pathway to economic independence.

We must take bold steps to empower women with disabilities by providing practical entrepreneurial skills, inclusive training, and a supportive environment that enables them to confidently build and grow their businesses. Entrepreneurship is not just an option; it is a meaningful and dignified form of employment, just like any other.

Fuwavita remains committed to empowering women and girls with disabilities through sustainable economic empowerment programs. By equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they need, we enable them to create their own jobs, achieve financial independence, and actively contribute to solving unemployment challenges among people with disabilities in Tanzania.

Together, let us build an inclusive future where no one is left behind, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

As part of our continuing and impactful partnership among FUWAVITA, the Judiciary of Tanzania Mediation Center, ESS Creative and Legal Foundation, and the Ministry of Constitution and Legal Affairs (Mediation Department), we convened a special and productive meeting yesterday, 29/05/2026, with leaders of organizations representing persons with disabilities.

The meeting was organized and coordinated through a joint planning process, where stakeholders came together to discuss and share ideas in preparation for the engagement.

The main agenda of the meeting was to prepare for the upcoming training on out-of-court dispute resolution (mediation) for leaders with different types of disabilities across Tanzania. This training aims to strengthen their capacity to handle conflicts peacefully and effectively within their communities.

The discussions focused on strengthening collaboration and advancing our shared agenda to ensure that persons with disabilities are fully included in legal processes within inclusive, accessible, and equitable environments. Together, we are building a future where justice is not a privilege, but a right accessible to all.

K**a sehemu ya ushirikiano wetu endelevu na wenye matokeo kati ya FUWAVITA, Mahakama Kuu ya Tanzania – Kituo cha Usuluhishi, ESS Creative and Legal Foundation, pamoja na Wizara ya Katiba na Sheria (Idara ya Usuluhishi), jana tarehe 29/05/2026 tuliandaa na kuratibu kikao maalum na chenye tija pamoja na viongozi wa makundi ya watu wenye ulemavu.

Ajenda kuu ya kikao ilikuwa kuandaa mafunzo ya usuluhishi wa migogoro nje ya mahakama (mediation) kwa viongozi wenye ulemavu wa aina zote nchini Tanzania. Mafunzo haya yanalenga kuwajengea uwezo wa kusuluhisha migogoro kwa njia ya amani na kwa ufanisi ndani ya jamii zao.

Majadiliano yalilenga kuimarisha ushirikiano na kusukuma mbele ajenda yetu ya pamoja ya kuhakikisha watu wenye ulemavu wanajumuishwa kikamilifu katika masuala ya sheria ndani ya mazingira jumuishi, rafiki na yenye usawa. Kwa pamoja, tunaijenga jamii ambayo haki si upendeleo bali ni haki ya kila mtu.

Mapema leo, Mkurugenzi wa FUWAVITA, Bi. Aneth Gerana, amewasilisha ripoti ya kina ya tathmini ya kati (mid-term report) kuhusu utekelezaji wa mradi wa Climate Justice, unaotekelezwa na FUWAVITA kwa kushirikiana na Mission 21 International na ICCASA Africa. Ripoti hiyo imewasilishwa kwa wadau na watetezi wa haki za ushirikishwaji wa watu wenye ulemavu duniani katika majadiliano ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi.

Wadau hao, kutoka mataifa mbalimbali duniani, wanakutana kupitia jukwaa la Global Disability Climate Caucus, ambapo FUWAVITA ni mwanachama hai na mwenye mchango mkubwa. Kupitia jukwaa hilo, mikakati thabiti imeanza kuandaliwa ili kuhakikisha watu wenye ulemavu wanapata nafasi stahiki ya kushiriki kikamilifu katika Kongamano la COP 31 linalotarajiwa kufanyika nchini Syria.

Ni wazi kuwa sauti za watu wenye ulemavu hazipaswi tena kubaki pembeni ni wakati wa kuzifanya ziwe sehemu ya maamuzi makubwa ya dunia. FUWAVITA itaendelea kuwa kinara wa mabadiliko, ikishirikiana na wadau wa ndani na kimataifa kuhakikisha wanawake wenye ulemavu wanapewa nafasi, wanathaminiwa, na wanashiriki kikamilifu katika maamuzi yanayohusu mustakabali wa mazingira na maisha yao. Huu ni wito wa haki, usawa, na utu hakuna anayeachwa nyuma.

Earlier today, FUWAVITA Executive Director, Ms. Aneth Gerana, presented a comprehensive mid-term report on the implementation of the Climate Justice project, carried out in collaboration with Mission 21 International and ICCASA Africa. The report was shared with global stakeholders and advocates championing the inclusion of persons with disabilities in climate negotiations.

These advocates, representing different countries worldwide, convene under the Global Disability Climate Caucus platform, where FUWAVITA is an active and impactful member. Through this platform, strategic plans are already underway to ensure meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in the upcoming COP 31 conference expected to take place in Syria.

The time has come to amplify voices that have long been unheard. Inclusion is not an option it is a necessity. FUWAVITA remains committed to driving transformative change by working with partners locally and globally to ensure that women with disabilities are not only included but empowered to influence decisions that shape our planet’s future. This is a movement for justice, dignity, and equality keaving no one behind.

Wakati tunaendelea kutekeleza mradi wetu wa Haki ya Tabianchi kwa kushirikiana na Mission 21 International na ICCASA, tunajivunia ushiriki wa FUWAVITA kwa kushirikiana na RASASA Africa katika maonyesho ya nishati 2026 yaliyofanyika katika viwanja vya Bunge jijini Dodoma.

Hili si tukio la kawaida bali ni mwendelezo wa mshikamano imara kati ya FUWAVITA na RASASA Africa katika kuhakikisha nishati safi na endelevu inawafikia wanawake wenye ulemavu katika mazingira jumuishi na yenye uwezeshaji. Nishati safi si anasa ni haki ya msingi. Na haki ya tabianchi lazima iwe jumuishi, isimuache mtu yeyote nyuma.

Sauti ya Viziwi ilisikika kwa nguvu kupitia mwakilishi wetu, dada Victoria Philomena, ikitukumbusha kuwa maendeleo ya kweli yanapatikana pale kila sauti inapothaminiwa na kila mtu kuonekana.

Tunatoa shukrani za dhati kwa RASASA Africa kwa kusimama nasi katika safari hii ya mabadiliko. Pamoja, hatutetei tu nishati safi tunawasha matumaini, heshima, na fursa sawa kwa wote.

As we continue implementing our Climate Justice partnership with Mission 21 International and ICCASA, we proudly celebrate FUWAVITA’s active participation alongside RASASA Africa at the Energy Exhibition 2026, held at the Parliament Grounds in Dodoma.

This moment represents more than just an event it is a powerful continuation of solidarity between FUWAVITA and RASASA Africa in ensuring that clean, sustainable energy reaches women with disabilities in inclusive and empowering environments. Clean energy is not a privilege it is a fundamental human right. Climate justice must be inclusive, ensuring that no one is left behind.

The voice of the Deaf community was heard loud and clear through our representative, Sister Victoria Philomena, reminding us that true progress is achieved when every voice matters and every person is empowered.

We extend our sincere gratitude to RASASA Africa for standing with us in this transformative journey. Together, we are not only advocating for clean energy we are driving dignity, equity, and a sustainable future for all.
