Enriching Neediest Brilliants Girls Dreams
About this project
The project seeks to break the cycle of generational poverty by empowering underprivileged, rural young mothers aged 14 to 25 in the Magu district of the Mwanza region, Tanzania, with vocational, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and business skills. It supports abandoned and the neediest rural young mothers in building sustainable livelihoods, improving their economic power, and becoming socially accepted and self-reliant contributors to their families and communities. By providing training, small startup capital and ongoing accompaniment, the project enables these women to create income-generating opportunities, access job markets, and change the trajectory of their lives and those of their children.
Their background, family circumstances, or social status should not determine their future, because every young mother’s life and potential matters. ECYMT – the project aims to support 200 rural neediest young mothers by 2030 through skills training, economic empowerment and the establishment of an inclusive training centre with boarding facilities, transforming lives and strengthening communities in rural Tanzania.
