Her Economy

Many young women in Tanzania, especially those from marginalized and low-income backgrounds, face significant barriers to economic empowerment. These challenges include limited access to education, financial resources, and opportunities for skills development. As a result, they often struggle with poverty, unemployment, and economic dependence, which perpetuates cycles of inequality and vulnerability. Discriminatory cultural norms and inadequate support systems further hinder their ability to achieve financial independence.

GFI’s  her economy program provides a comprehensive solution by equipping young women with the necessary tools to become financially independent. This includes financial literacy education, entrepreneurship training, vocational skills development, and access to resources like table banking to support small business development. Through mentorship, networking, and hands-on business support, GFI empowers young women to create sustainable livelihoods and break free from cycles of poverty and economic dependency.

Our goal to create long-lasting financial independence and resilience among young women in Tanzania. By providing the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary for entrepreneurship and financial literacy, GFI aims to help young women build thriving businesses, secure stable incomes, and become empowered leaders within their communities, ultimately contributing to broader social and economic development.
