What we are working towards
Why we exist
Each year nearly a million young Tanzanians enter the labour market, while far fewer formal jobs are created. Many have skills, but not the devices, connection, confidence or introductions that turn a skill into income.
Computers and reliable internet are scarce outside the big cities, and costly for low-income households.
Young women, rural youth and persons with disabilities face the steepest barriers to online work.
Training alone is not enough. People need a trusted route to their first paying clients.
Training, mentorship, access and a safe marketplace — joined up, measured and reported openly.
Our programmes
Our flagship five-year programme (2026/27 – 2030/31): digital skills and freelancing training, mentorship, community digital hubs, devices and connectivity, rural outreach and platform onboarding — measured every step of the way.
Uses digital work as a route out of poverty: identifying poor and near-poor households, routing them into paid work and supported purchases, with every transaction forming an evidence trail.
Governs every flow of non-profit money — causes, donations and sponsorships, beneficiary support and subsidised purchases — and builds the partnerships that fund the work.
Brings short, practical courses authored by institutions of standing into the Ujuzi-Tu learning area, and pairs learners with mentors — mobile-first, low-bandwidth, in Kiswahili and English.
