Women's Enterprise Program

The Women's Enterprise Program is a social enterprise model through which pastoralist women from the NCA are able to improve their vocational skills and understanding of small enterprise principles and earn an income. By empowering women to earn income and support their families, Kiretono's WEP helps to relieve poverty amongst a very marginalized and vulnerable population living in the NCA. The women produce beautiful handicrafts sold in Tanzania while Aid Tanzania helps develop overseas markets. The women make a variety of home, lodge, wedding and holiday decor products in addition to items suitable for unique corporate gifts and fundraising by other charitable organizations with programs in Tanzania. In 2019, more than 425 women participated in the group at various levels.
