Our Vocational Skills Development And Continuing Passions Program
Program Description
This program is a women-centered empowerment initiative that delivers holistic support to underserved and marginalized women and girls. It combines education, skills training, mental health services, and economic inclusion to create pathways to long-term independence and dignity. The project focuses on three pillars: Develop (building knowledge and practical skills), Empower (fostering confidence and leadership), and Create Opportunity (linking women to jobs, entrepreneurship, and financial tools). We call it "DECO"!
Program Context
Women and girls in underserved communities continue to face significant challenges, including poverty, limited access to education, gender-based violence, and exclusion from economic opportunities. These challenges have been intensified by global crises, especially for single young mothers, survivors of violence, displaced populations and those living with disabilities.
This program aims to address both immediate needs and structural barriers by providing holistic support including education, skills training, mental health services, and pathways to employment or entrepreneurship.
Program Rationale
The design and implementation of this program was triggered by Tanzania Integrated Labour Force Survey 2020/21 from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) which shows that, based on the National definition of unemployment, about 1.09 million youth aged 15 to 24 are unemployed equivalent to (44.2%), whereby 61.2% were female.
How Have We Gone So Far?
Through BHASSA TANZANIA, with support from USAID Kijana Nahodha Over 940 young individuals participated in hands-on technical and vocational skills development programs, learning valuable trades such as Beautification and Cosmetology, Designing, Sewing and Cloth Technology, Kitchen and Pastry, Poultry, Cake Making, Soap Making and Batiki Making. These programs have empowered youth to gain practical skills that are in demand, providing them with better job prospects and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Our Future Plan
We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing efforts of our government and support of our donors, volunteers, and partners. As we move forward into this year, we remain committed to empowering individuals, fostering education, promoting health, and protecting our environment. Together, we will continue to create positive, lasting change in the communities we serve.
