Unlocking the Potential of Tanzania’s Youth

Youth Empowerment addresses a crucial need for Tanzania’s young population, where unemployment is rampant and digital exclusion is widespread.
This project equips rural youth in Tanzania with the tools they need for a sustainable future, offering training in entrepreneurship, green business and digital skills. Through partnerships with public schools, “business clubs” are established, providing students with education in small-scale entrepreneurship and access to essential digital tools. On the schools’ demonstration farms, they learn the principles of eco-friendly agriculture.
The project builds on a successful pilot study, which involved 1,680 students from 28 schools in the Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions between 2022 and 2024. It aims to strengthen and support young people’s ability to create and achieve sustainable livelihoods.
We are now expanding this important initiative to reach even more young Tanzanians!
