Targeted, community-driven initiatives delivering real change for women and children across Tanzania.
Each TANEFO program is designed in collaboration with communities, addressing specific needs while building local capacity for self-sustaining change.
Financial independence is the foundation of a dignified life. This program empowers women in Manyara Region to develop marketable artisan skills, enabling them to generate sustainable income and take control of their economic futures.
Women learn to produce high-quality handcrafted goods that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Tanzania's communities — from intricate beadwork to woven baskets — creating products that are both locally valued and internationally appealing.
Beyond financial skills, true empowerment means building confidence, knowledge, and the capacity for leadership. TANEFO's Women Empowerment Programs equip women with both practical business skills and the personal agency to use them.
From hands-on entrepreneurship training to creative textile arts, these programs celebrate women's talent while building pathways to economic independence and community leadership.
Education is the most powerful investment in Tanzania's future. Yet children in pastoralist communities often face significant barriers — long distances to school, lack of materials, economic pressure to contribute to household income, and infrastructure gaps.
TANEFO's Children Education Support program works to remove these barriers, ensuring that every child in Manyara Region has the opportunity to attend school, learn, and grow into the next generation of community leaders.
Your support — whether through donation, volunteering, or partnership — directly funds the materials, training, and staffing that make these programs possible.
