About Us
Anza Entrepreneurs is seeking international professionals to join as volunteers to work with our internal team to support Tanzanian entrepreneurs in their effort of providing life improving products and services in Tanzania and the world.
Tanzania is a country with a growing population and economy so businesses have the potential to thrive with the right support. However, many small and medium-sized businesses lack the resources and expertise to take advantage of the opportunities available to them. At Anza, you can join our team and play a valuable role in enabling businesses to grow and thrive.
Share Your Knowledge
By sharing your knowledge and skills, you can help our goals of ensuring businesses develop strategies for growth, improve their marketing and branding and enhance their operational efficiency based on your personal areas of expertise. Additionally, you will provide mentorship and guidance to business owners and employees, helping them to further develop their skills and capabilities. Ultimately, by working with Anza in Tanzania, you will contribute to the country’s economic development and help to create a more prosperous future for all.
