Women and Youth Economic empowerment
This transformative initiative is dedicated to empowering youth through comprehensive life skills education, advancing women’s economic independence, and addressing both the prevention of and response to gender-based violence. By placing a strong emphasis on capacity building, the program equips participants with essential entrepreneurial and marketing skills, enabling them to enhance productivity and capitalize on business opportunities effectively.
Fueled by a strategic partnership with the Daughters of Mary Immaculate (DMI) and the generous contributions of AITA’s organizational board, this project serves as a catalyst for sustainable change. Its impact resonates profoundly within the Ubungo Municipality and Kibaha Town Council, where it fosters resilience, drives community development, and promotes lasting socio-economic progress. Through this collaborative effort, the initiative continues to inspire hope and build a brighter future for all.
Resource Coordination and Savings and Lending Activities
At AITA, we are committed to empowering women by equipping them with practical skills in resource coordination and fostering financial independence through savings and lending initiatives. Our programs are designed to create a strong foundation for women to thrive as individuals and community leaders, driving socio-economic transformation from within.
We actively provide training in resource coordination, teaching women how to manage available assets efficiently and collaboratively to achieve shared goals. By introducing structured savings and lending activities, such as group-based savings systems and microloan opportunities, we help women access financial resources that were previously beyond their reach. These initiatives enable participants to fund small businesses, meet urgent needs, and invest in long-term aspirations like education or housing.
In addition, AITA’s focus extends beyond financial literacy. We build confidence through mentoring and leadership development programs, empowering women to take on key decision-making roles within their families and communities. Our approach ensures sustainability by forming peer support groups, where women exchange ideas, share challenges, and celebrate successes.
Through these efforts, AITA has witnessed incredible success stories: women who have started thriving businesses, educated their children, and become change agents in their communities. These initiatives are more than just financial tools; they are pathways to dignity, resilience, and self-reliance.
By enabling women to coordinate resources and access financial support networks, we are fostering a culture of empowerment that uplifts entire communities and drives lasting change.

Through these efforts, the project empowers women and girls to realize their full potential and pursue their life aspirations with confidence and autonomy.

The Safe and Friendly School Program focused on strengthening the capacity of secondary school teachers, enabling them to create inclusive, secure, and supportive learning environments that align with the government’s commitment to improving education outcomes. Currently, the program has successfully expanded to 90 secondary schools across 29 councils in 15 regions of mainland Tanzania. It has also welcomed dedicated Peace Corps volunteers who play a pivotal role in cultivating safer, more enriching educational experiences for students and educators alike, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to thrive in a positive and empowering environment.
