Challenge

Tanzania, one of the world's poorest nations, faces significant challenges, including high unemployment rates and pervasive poverty, underscoring the imperative need for sustainable solutions. A staggering 49% of the population must subsist on less than $1.90 a day, constituting a dire issue that leaves many families grappling to afford even the most fundamental necessities such as food, shelter, and education. This persistent cycle of poverty is an urgent, demanding immediate attention.

Solution

Our cafe tackles Tanzania's challenges head-on. By employing widows, orphans, street children, and single-parent families, we empower them with sustainable income and support, giving them a chance at a better life. 90% of profits support our NGO programs, combating unemployment, improving education, fighting poverty, enhancing living conditions, ensuring healthcare access, clean water, and food security. Your support makes this change possible.

Long-Term Impact

Long-term self-sustainability lies in generating our own income through employment and funding our NGO. We aim to reduce dependency on external donations and foreign investment, envisioning a future where our initiatives are self-sustaining. It offers economic empowerment through sustainable employment. By funding our NGO, it boosts education, enhances healthcare access, supports sanitation and clean water projects, addresses food security, and fosters community development.
