AKO Tanzania Community Support is launching a nine-month initiative to enhance the economic status of Maasai women in Kambi ya Chokaa and Losoito villages, Simanjiro District. The project aims to empower women through income-generating activities such as maize, beans, and vegetable cultivation, as well as Maasai traditional crafts production. Education sessions on entrepreneurship, skills development, and family planning will also be provided. A cost-benefit analysis revealed promising benefit-cost ratios of 1.92 for maize, 1.22 for beans, and 1.23 for vegetable farming. The project plans to reinvest 25% of profits to maintain infrastructure and enhance participants’ skills. The initiative aims to achieve economic independence, improved farming practices, refined craftsmanship, and resilience against early/forced marriages, ultimately improving food security and financial stability within the community.
