Transformative and Integrative Build Out for All (TIBA) is a not-for-profit organisation that started as a community-based organisation between 2015-16 by young activists driven by a desire to transform communities through sustainable programs that empower and transform the lives of Young women, children and youth.

TIBA’s goal is to build socially and economically independent women, children and youth to contribute to the development of Tanzania positively. Our programmes focus on Education Inclusion for girl children and a child with disabilities, gender equality and women empowerment, and Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) for youth.

Agriculture is the backbone and foundation of economic and food security in Tanzania. Data show that more than 70% of women work in agriculture and agriculture businesses in the urban area, but they still face challenges such as land ownership, as most of them rent land for farming or sell agricultural products, changing climatic conditions, a lack of market for their products, insufficient financial support, and a lack of technological innovation in agriculture among women.

TIBA proposes to address the identified phenomenon by improving the livelihood of small-scale women vegetable farmers/vendors in urban areas through capacity strengthening for women vegetable vendors on marketing, such as selling door to door to other market strategies, such as one-stop centre a marketplace, technology educatioon to improve food production, liking the small scale women vegetable vendors with financial institutions, including government loans, and education of women (agriculture and non-farm).

Vegetables have a significant market and demand in metropolitan areas. The project will directly contact 50 small-scale female vegetable sellers and 60 local leaders (30 men and 30 women). Indirectly, 1000 others will benefit from the key beneficiaries’ knowledge and practices through media. The project will be monitored before, during, and after it is completed, and the results will be communicated through the recording of stories of transformation that will be published on media and at the stakeholder’s workshop.
