Supported 50 CHILDREN through our program at the Same Learning Center (and prepared to launch a NEW kids club to support 50 CHILDREN in the village of Vudee)

Provided dignified work in Tanzania and the United States for the 99 ARTISAN-ENTREPRENEURS of Vumwe Designs (these resilient women are thriving survivors of gender-based violence)

A 6-day training session educated 74 new teachers throughout the Same District on health topics that will reach OVER 32,000 STUDENTS at primary and secondary schools

Empower Tanzania is committed to creating sustainable change, in partnership with people living in rural Tanzania, through community-led solutions.

This report focuses on data and statistics that show the impact of Empower Tanzania’s activities last year. But behind each of those statistics are thousands of individual Tanzanians who are the real reason we are working there. Their faces showing joy and confidence and their voices showing pride and gratitude are the true measure of our impact.”

Phil Latessa, President
Board of Directors

Empower Tanzania partnered with One Day’s Wages to raise $15,000 for the Same Learning Center through a matching grant campaign in late 2022. The funds will support 50 vulnerable students participating in this program!

OUR PROGRAMS

  • ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

    ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT LOOKS DIFFERENT IN EVERY COMMUNITY, AND TENDS TO BE WOVEN INTO NEARLY EVERY PROJECT.
