Tanzania Youth Empowerment Project (TYEP)
Introduction
Through the Tanzania Youth Empowerment Project (TYEP), Anza Entrepreneurs is partnering with Dorcas Aid International Tanzania to support 10 youth-led businesses in Arusha. The programme helps young entrepreneurs build the skills, business systems, and connections they need to strengthen their enterprises and pursue growth.
Targeting businesses across agriculture, manufacturing, and general trading, the programme combines practical training, personalised mentorship, and access to market and financing opportunities.
Our Approach
We combine practical business training with personalised coaching to help young entrepreneurs strengthen their businesses. Training covers business planning, financial management, marketing, sales, customer relations, record-keeping, and value-chain development. Workbooks, practical exercises, and case studies help participants apply these skills to their own businesses.
Individual coaching and mentorship address each entrepreneur’s needs and challenges, helping them identify practical solutions and pursue business and income-generating opportunities suited to local market conditions.
Our Target Impact
TYEP is targeting young entrepreneurs to build resilient businesses that generate sustainable incomes and create employment opportunities in their communities. The programme focuses on stronger business management, improved financing readiness, and meaningful connections to markets, with a target of at least 40% female-led enterprises participating.
