TATU Project is a
not for profit organization focusing on the equal and sustainable development

town of Moshi at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

Project
Description

For more than two
years now, TATU Project ha

ways. Since their capital is limited but their will and vision had been
demonstrated, we developed our Economic Empowerment Program, W.E. Thrive, in
order to provide them with more capital and knowledge, and to accelerate the
group’s financial and business growth.

A whole micro-credit
system has been designed together with the women of the group, and its
implementation is planned to start in the second quarter of 2016. Two
businesses of the group are underway – a bicycle rental business, with a spares
shop to come, and a wholesale shop. Several entrepreneurial trainings are
scheduled, facilitating these group businesses’ planning and their individual
business’, plus guaranteeing the proper investment of the micro-loans.
