ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AND LEGAL AID

Women across Tanzania are faced with little to or no access to legal aid services and a lack of familiarity with their basic rights. This issue is compounded by limited economic empowerment mechanisms, leaving women and youths more disadvantaged. To address these issues, WEI Tanzania works with a variety of stakeholders to provide legal aid services and economic empowerment frameworks to Tanzania’s most vulnerable groups particularly women and youths.

WEI Tanzania works with different stakeholders to provide economic empowerment and justice to women and youth in Dodoma and Singida, including through the launch of a Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Unit advocating for entrepreneurship rights, and microfinance groups.

Recognizing the potential of women and youths and people with disabilities, we have focused on economic empowerment in agribusiness, Business development skills and improved VSLA/VICOBA which designed to offer youths and women choices and pave a pathway to fulfill their economic dreams.
