Hakizetu

Hakizetu is an organisation based in the outskirts of Mwanza town in Tanzania. The organisation helps young people particularly young women who are vulnerable or victims of domestic or gender based violence by providing them with life and business, skills training. They are also taught vocational skills such as tailoring, design and crafts. Upon graduation, they are either helped to gain employment or supported to establish their own small business.

Along with Tools For Self Reliance-Cymru (TFSRC) we will supply sewing machines for both the training at Hakizetu and for those who, upon graduation, want to establish their own business. We also plan to hold sewing machine servicing and repair workshops at the Hakizetu premises. This helps develop valuable skills to further strengthen their ability to maintain their businesses.
