Women’s empowerment has five components: women’s sense of self-worth; their right to have and to determine choices; their right to have access to opportunities and resources; their right to have power to control their own lives, both within and outside the home; and their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and economic order, nationally and international.

Since March 1, our partner organization has been conducting the women empowerment project “Smart girl, smart life” in Mwanza 🇹🇿 for the fourth time. This year, 20 young women between the ages of 17 and 29 are receiving six months of entrepreneurship training in various areas so that they can then set up their own micro-enterprise afterwards. Some of the women received their first sewing and hairdressing skills last week.

The Smart Life Project Phase IV has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for individuals like Zawadi and Tausi, who are pursuing their dreams of becoming skilled beauticians. Through this project, they are receiving invaluable training in salon techniques and makeup artistry, equipping them with the necessary skills to excel in their chosen field. Their aspirations extend far beyond personal success; they envision a future where they can not only transform their own lives but also uplift their entire community.

Zawadi and Tausi’s dedication to their craft reflects a deep-seated belief in the power of education and empowerment. They recognize that by honing their skills, they can not only achieve their own goals but also serve as catalysts for positive change within their community. Through their passion and determination, they are paving the way for others to follow in their footsteps, inspiring a new generation of individuals to pursue their dreams and make meaningful contributions to society.

We owe a debt of gratitude to African Roots Ev for their unwavering support and commitment to initiatives like the Smart Life Project. Their dedication to fostering education and skill development has provided Zawadi, Tausi, and countless others with the tools they need to succeed. By investing in programs that empower individuals to reach their full potential, African Roots is helping to create a brighter, more prosperous future for communities across the region.

In celebrating the achievements of Zawadi and Tausi, we are reminded of the transformative power of education, perseverance, and community support. Their journey serves as a testament to the fact that with determination and the right opportunities, anyone can overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams. As we continue to invest in programs like the Smart Life Project, we can look forward to a future where individuals from all walks of life have the chance to thrive and make a positive impact on the world.

Kwa nafasi hii ya pekee, tungependa kuelezea shukrani zetu za dhati kwa mchango wenu wa kipekee na wa dhati katika kusaidia wanawake na watoto wao wenye changamoto ya vichwa vikubwa na mgongo wazi. Hakika, mchango wenu umekuwa ni nuru kwa familia hizi na jamii kwa ujumla.

Maneno ya Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, “Msichana ni Tai na sio Kuku,” yanaleta maana kubwa sana katika muktadha wa kukuza usawa wa kijinsia na kujenga jamii inayowapa wasichana fursa sawa za kufikia ndoto zao. Mwalimu Nyerere alikuwa akionyesha hitaji la kubadilisha mtazamo wa kijamii kuhusu jukumu na uwezo wa wasichana. Kulinganisha msichana na Tai, kiumbe kinachojulikana kwa uzuri wake, uhuru wa kuruka angani, na ujasiri wake, inalinganishwa na hali ya kuku, ambayo inaweza kufungwa na vikwazo vya kijinsia au matarajio duni ya kijamii.

Kwa hiyo, semina hii juu ya “msichana ni Tai, sio Kuku,” iliyotekelezwa kwa ushirikiano wa shirika la Msichana Tai na Mikono Yetu, inazingatia kujenga uelewa kuhusu umuhimu wa kumwona msichana k**a mtu aliye na uwezo mkubwa na uwezekano wa kufikia malengo yake. Kupitia semina hii, jamii inahamasishwa kusaidia wasichana katika kuendeleza ujasiri, kujiamini, na kufuata ndoto zao bila kikwazo chochote.

Jukumu kubwa la semina hii ni kutoa elimu kuhusu usawa wa kijinsia na kusaidia kuvunja vizuizi vya kijinsia ambavyo vinaweza kuzuia wasichana kutimiza uwezo wao kamili. Kwa kuendeleza msimamo wa “msichana ni Tai,” semina hii inaleta mabadiliko katika mtazamo wa jamii kuhusu jinsia na jukumu la msichana katika maendeleo ya kijamii.

Hivyo, shukrani zetu ziende kwa shirika la Msichana Tai kwa kuanzisha na kuendeleza semina hii, ambayo inachangia kuleta mabadiliko chanya katika jamii yetu kwa kuwawezesha wasichana kutimiza ndoto zao na kuchangia katika maendeleo ya jamii kwa ujumla.

Smart Life project Phase III. Stay tuned.

We are thrilled to announce the commencement of Phase IV of the Smart Life project, a pivotal initiative dedicated to empowering young girls through comprehensive training programs. This phase is designed to focus on essential skill development, with a primary emphasis on tailoring, salon services, and makeup artistry. Our vision for this phase extends beyond conventional training, as we aspire to establish a dedicated tailoring hub where girls can access continuous learning opportunities.

The cornerstone of Phase IV lies in providing girls with the tools and knowledge necessary to thrive in various entrepreneurial ventures. Tailoring, salon, and makeup training are not just vocational skills; they are pathways to economic independence and self-sufficiency. By nurturing these talents, we aim to cultivate a generation of young women who can confidently contribute to their communities and break through societal barriers.

Furthermore, our commitment extends beyond vocational training to encompass critical aspects of personal well-being. The inclusion of s*xual and reproductive health education ensures that participants are equipped with essential knowledge to make informed decisions about their bodies and lives. This holistic approach addresses the multifaceted needs of young girls, promoting both professional and personal growth.

The establishment of a tailoring hub represents a tangible commitment to providing a conducive and accessible space for learning. This hub will serve as a dynamic center where girls can immerse themselves in training at any time, fostering a continuous and supportive learning environment. We believe that such a dedicated space will not only enhance skill development but also foster a sense of community and collaboration among participants.

As we embark on this exciting journey, we are confident that Phase IV will be a transformative chapter for the Smart Life project. By investing in the education and empowerment of young girls, we are not only realizing our dreams but also creating a positive ripple effect that will contribute to the overall progress of society. Together, we look forward to witnessing the incredible impact that these empowered young women will undoubtedly make in their communities and beyond

Last year, in 2023, the Star Foundation Organization had the opportunity to participate in a conference addressing climate change issues. The event was led by Madam Sophia, the Director of Women's Voice, along with environmental stakeholders in the Mwanza region and its surroundings. The primary objective of the conference was to ensure that the efforts of policymakers, decision-makers, and resource allocators incorporate gender considerations in policies, plans, and strategies related to climate change. The aim was to ensure that all groups, including women and men, are involved, contribute, and benefit from initiatives and efforts to address climate change. This approach emphasized the importance of recognizing the diverse needs, responsibilities, and contributions of both genders in sustainable development efforts. The overarching goal was to integrate gender perspectives into climate change policies and actions, fostering inclusivity and ensuring that all segments of society can actively participate and derive benefits from climate change mitigation and adaptation initiatives.
