In Africa, particularly in Tanzania, women are still struggling to survive economically and make choices freely as men do. This is exactly where ALMASI brings its entrepreneurship interventions that aim to close the gap between men and women economically in a sustainable way. Our focus will be on Maasai women’s groups who have customarily little or no form of access to capital (in the form of livestock) or financial resources.
