Empowering the people of rural Tanzania!

Empower Tanzania Inc (ETI) works in partnership with rural Tanzanians to improve their quality of life.  ETI is addressing the underlying issues that hinder resiliency in the rural areas, such as health care, education, agriculture practices, markets for products, and increasing water supply and quality.


Finding answers to rural development challenges requires working together with communities to create a vision and a long term commitment beyond the life of a project. ETI pursues this approach through all we do.
 
Water is Life

66% of Tanzanians have no access to clean water. "Maji ni Uhai" meaning 'water is life' indicates the critical need for quantity and quality of water. 

ETI is improving water supply and sanitation through a recently completed major water rehabilitation project bringing relief to 22,000 people in Hedaru. Two more projects are in the development phase.

Hope for Orphans

When parents die of AIDS, extended family steps in to care for the children that are left behind, but often, there is simply not enough money to both feed and educate them.  

The ETI Mwanga Orphan Project works to keep these children in school and help them find productive careers.  It is a project of hope.

Care for the Dying

1.4 million Tanzanians live with HIV/AIDS. Many who are dying receive little or no skilled help from their community or family.

ETI is providing skills and empowering communities to address the issue.  With the help of a US Government PEPFAR grant, ETI helps rural Tanzanians at a village level to care for their loved ones.
