Empower Tanzania Inc is a US based non-profit (501c3) working through our local Tanzanian affiliate, managed by nationals. We have unique community-to-community connections and our members have many years of economic development work in Tanzania and beyond, through a variety of other organizations. This brings rich and diverse relationships with partners who we work with.  

By working together with communities and local stakeholders to identify needs and find solutions, we can provide a lasting solution to economic development. We match communities in Tanzania with communities in the USA, a unique grass-roots approach to development. By applying a holistic and participatory approach, we help provide communities with the tools and know how to sustainably solve their own needs. Initial pilots provide a model for more wide-spread economic development in other parts of Tanzania. 

We have focused initially in the Kilimanjaro and Iringa regions. ETI's seeks to identify needs, apply expertise, best practices, and local connections and partnerships to solve complex community problems.
