Your generosity funds safe spaces, education, and economic freedom for girls across Tanzania.
Join a growing network of organizations committed to girls' rights and gender justice in Tanzania.
We are feminist and youth lead organisation advancing education, dignity and economic power for girls and young women in Tanzania.
We are a youth- and women-led feminist organization based in Tanzania, committed to advancing gender equality and educational justice. We create safe spaces, promote access to education, drive economic empowerment, support survivors of gender-based violence, and amplify girls' and young women's voices to influence policies and systems.
We work with adolescent girls, young women, teen mothers, and communities — especially in rural and marginalized areas — to challenge harmful norms, build confidence, and create opportunities for leadership and independence.
Through education advocacy, social enterprise, health programs, and movement-building, WOYOMO envisions a just Tanzania where girls and women are free, equal, and thriving.

We are committed to empowering girls and women through education, safe spaces, economic opportunities, survivor support, and feminist advocacy for lasting gender equality.
We envision a community free from gender inequalities, where girls enjoy access to their rights, have their power and make choices and decisions for themselves.
WOYOMO believes that breaking gender inequalities in rural and urban Tanzania requires empowering girls and women through education, technology, safe spaces, and economic opportunities. We work with adolescent girls, teen mothers, survivors of gender-based violence, and women to build their confidence, skills, and financial independence because access to psychosocial support, social learning, and economic empowerment allows them to define their own futures and thrive.
We collaborate with feminist activists, teachers, community leaders, policymakers, and the private sector because shifting harmful norms and strengthening policies demands collective action. By combining education advocacy, survivor support, social enterprise, and policy influence, WOYOMO seeks to create communities that rise against injustice, ensure women and girls know their rights, achieve financial freedom, and live in a world where they are free from violence and have equal opportunities to reach their full potential.
WOYOMO employs a holistic, feminist, and community-driven model built on three powerful pillars — each one reinforcing the other on the path to lasting change.
Knowledge is power — and we pour it into girls without hesitation. Through Girls Buzz, Msichana Juu, and Health Spark Project, we create safe learning spaces, mentor girls through challenges, support teen mothers in returning to school, and deliver comprehensive SRHR education. Every session, every workshop, every conversation plants a seed of agency that grows into unstoppable confidence.
Building Knowledge & Skills
Economic exclusion is a cage — we break it open. We equip adolescent girls, teen mothers, and GBV survivors with vocational skills, financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, and seed capital to build lives of dignity and independence. Through Girls Buzz, Handmade Hope, and community convenings, we create safe physical and digital spaces where girls learn, heal, connect, and turn their pain into power.
Economic Opportunity & Safe Spaces
Requires shifting the systems that perpetuate injustice. Through bold movement-building, feminist collaborations, and policy advocacy, we work alongside community leaders, activists, schools, and government to challenge harmful norms, strengthen protection mechanisms, and reshape the rules. Because girls should not have to fight to be safe — the world should be built to protect them.
Shifting Systems & Policy
These principles are our compass — forged from the lived experiences of the girls and women we serve, and unwavering in every decision we make.
We embrace feminism not as a slogan, but as a living commitment — advocating for gender equality, dismantling patriarchal structures, and believing without compromise that girls and women have every right to lead, choose, and thrive.
Every girl matters — regardless of her background, ethnicity, religion, or ability. We build spaces where all are welcome, all are valued, and all have an equal seat at the table of opportunity.
We lead with empathy, always centering the emotional and psychological wellbeing of the girls and survivors we serve. Every interaction is guided by deep respect for their dignity, healing, and humanity.
The girls we serve trust us with their stories, their futures, and their hope. We honor that trust by operating with complete transparency, rigorous accountability, and a relentless commitment to doing what we say we will do.
Four interconnected pillars guiding our five-year strategy for transforming the lives of girls and young women in Tanzania.
We champion the right of every girl to learn without fear. By integrating SRHR education, school retention programs, menstrual dignity support, and peer-led advocacy, we are building a generation of informed, empowered, and unstoppable young women.
Financial independence is freedom. We equip girls and young women with vocational skills, entrepreneurship training, financial literacy, and seed capital — transforming vulnerability into self-sufficiency.
Girls cannot flourish in environments that diminish them. We build sanctuaries of belonging where girls discover their voice, their worth, and their power to change the world.
Individual transformation is the spark — systemic change is the fire. We collaborate with feminists, activists, and institutions across Tanzania and beyond, organizing girls as change-makers and advocates who are rewriting the rules for generations to come.
"Before joining Girls Buzz, I was shy and believed my voice didn't matter. Now I lead discussions in my school and advocate for girls' right to stay in education. WOYOMO helped me find my voice — and I will never be silent again."
"After I had my baby, my family said my life was over. WOYOMO helped me return to school and now I earn my own income through Handmade Hope. I am proud, I am independent, and I proved every doubter wrong."
"Beyond Limits helped me understand that what happened to me was not my fault. The support group gave me the courage to heal. Today I run my own small business and I hold out a hand to other survivors."
"Before the Health Spark Project, I did not know about consent or my rights. Now I teach my peers how to stay safe and speak up. I am empowered — and I refuse to stay silent about things that matter."
