How are women in Tanzania breaking the poverty cycle?
Manage episode 429259895 series 2859950
Women in Tanzania face immense hurdles in accessing education, employment and financial services.
Despite these challenges, Tanzanian women are incredibly resilient. Many are the backbone of their families and communities, often juggling multiple roles as caregivers, breadwinners and entrepreneurs.
Yet, they face systemic barriers that keep them from achieving financial independence.
President Samia Suluhu took office in 2021 with promises to prioritize initiatives promoting gender equality, tackling violence against women and boosting economic empowerment.
However, there's still much more to do. Lydia Charles Moyo, the founder of ‘Her Initiative’, is leading efforts to empower women through technology and digital inclusion.
Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja has been hearing more about these efforts from Lydia as well as Elizabeth, a beneficiary of her work.
