A recent initiative by Orica funding has provided vocational training to 100 out-of-school girls in Tanzania, aiming to equip them with practical skills for sustainable employment.

The program focuses on trades such as tailoring, hairdressing, and basic computer literacy, addressing the challenges faced by girls who dropped out of formal education.By offering hands-on training and mentorship, the initiative seeks to enhance their economic independence and reduce early marriage rates.Participants have reported gaining confidence and access to new opportunities, with some already starting small businesses.

The project highlights the importance of education in empowering marginalized communities and aligns with broader efforts to improve gender equality in Tanzania.It also underscores the role of corporate social responsibility in driving positive social change.The success of this program could inspire similar initiatives, contributing to long-term development goals and reducing poverty among young women.
