Women empowerment and entrepreneurship in Tanzania – Arusha
Mama na Kuku Project
Women empowerment and entrepreneurship in Tanzania – Arusha
At Nadumu Maasai Women’s Organization, our Mama na Kuku Project focuses on women entrepreneurship and empowerment in Arusha, Tanzania. In Maasai communities, women traditionally cannot own property, which limits their financial independence and decision-making power.
To change this, we launched the Mama na Kuku Project, an initiative that gives Maasai women chickens to raise — helping them earn income, gain property rights, and build long-term stability.
How the Mama na Kuku Project Helps Women
Our entrepreneurship project in Arusha helps women improve their lives through simple, sustainable, and impactful steps:
Economic Empowerment – Enables women to build capital, earn income, and break free from poverty.
Entrepreneurship Development – Teaches business, poultry farming, and management skills.
Improved Nutrition – Ensures families have access to healthy, reliable food.
Property Ownership & Self-Sufficiency – Helps women manage resources and become financially independent.
Through this program, Maasai women gain confidence, business skills, and independence — building stronger families and communities.
Why Entrepreneurship Matters for Women in Tanzania
Entrepreneurship is key to breaking poverty cycles. By supporting women entrepreneurship in Arusha, we give women the opportunity to contribute to local economies, educate their children, and make independent life choices.
This project empowers them not only as income earners but also as leaders of change in their communities.
