Description:
The project aims to support the development of a recently created business incubator (or hub), Ndoto Hub, by Tanzanian organization Shule Direct. Ndoto Hub is the only hub in Tanzania completely dedicated to young women, addressing their needs by investing in nurturing, motivating, mentoring, and coaching. The mission of the Organization is to propel the next generation of successful innovative Tanzanian women entrepreneurs, and its vision is for a prosperous Africa where women lead sustainable businesses and livelihoods.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:

The Project will fund an innovative business incubation hub which aimed at supporting young women entrepreneurs in Tanzania with mentoring, coaching, and life skills training, as well as providing collaborative workspaces. The hub will also use technological platforms to reach young women. By the end of the initiative, it is expected that many of the 2,440 young women who have received coaching and other support from the Hub will be more assertive as young entrepreneurs and up to 80% of them will have a stronger and more stable business in place. In addition, young women entrepreneurs will be well prepared to submit funding requests to financial institutions – currently an essential barrier for women to enter business.
