Better Tomorrow launched in 2019 as a network with the goal of educating and informing the Tanzanian mainland population about climate change, gender equality, and other social and economic issues, as well as supporting women and young people in the workforce. We also began as a thriving youth network, helping young people gain financial literacy, life and leadership skills, access to sexual and reproductive health care, and self-assurance. We’ve been going strong for a while now, and we’ve seen our organisation’s positive effects on the neighbourhood. More women expressed interest in joining our organisation as members; as a result, we decided to register our organisation.

Better Tomorrow is an organisation that was created with the intention of working on gender equality, economic inequality, and other social concerns by engaging young people and women on a national and international level. Our goals include promoting equal participation and benefit in available resources, particularly credit, water, education and health facilities, land, and new opportunities for development; advocating for and raising awareness on various campaigns with initiatives to promote economic activities among youths; empowering youth and the community at large on matters concerning youth rights, climate change, gender-based violence, and education; and promoting the dissemination of economic empowerment.

Men with disabilities are about twice as likely as women with disabilities to have employment. Women with disabilities confront unfair hiring and promotion criteria, unequal access to training and retraining, and unequal access to credit and other productive resources, and they rarely have a vote in economic decisions when they work. There are also disparities in the labour force between women with various types of disability. Thus, some groups participate at a higher or lower rate than others. Women with disabilities are more likely to be treated unfairly because they are female and have a disability. Many of them are mistreated because they are impoverished. Women with disabilities frequently endure double or even triple discrimination, often neglected or unnoticed because people with impairments are sometimes viewed as if they do not have a gender. The issue is also largely neglected because little is known about its magnitude or effects.

As a result, the organisation “A Better Tomorrow” must begin by raising awareness and holding seminars to bring the private and public sectors together. This will be done in collaboration with several commercial sector parties. Also, our organisation intends to engage women with disabilities, recruit them, and train them in activities that will prepare them for self-employment after a year of being supported with seed capital or supported by our organisation to obtain a loan from a financial institution or a local government fund. Sewing, designing, knitting, building, learning to use computers, driving a three-wheeler for the transportation business, and so on are all activities advised by women with disabilities during our past involvement with them. In addition, our organisation intends to initiate, design, and organise a campaign to close the job disability gap and provide mentorship and coaching to all five categories of women with disabilities based on their trained soft skills. Provision of startup funding and assistance in obtaining further capital from financial institutions and government loans.
