Buzz Women launched in Tanzania in 2023 through partnership with The Sote Initiative, a local organization with strong roots in community development. The Sote team brings deep commitment to women’s empowerment and community-led change.
Through close collaboration with local governments and community leaders, they bring training in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and leadership directly to women, laying foundations for transformation across the country.
Our training programs focus on confidence building, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, personal leadership, regenerative practices, and community participation. Each designed to respond to real community needs.
Our foundational program builds confidence and practical financial skills. Women learn about saving, budgeting, debt avoidance, and household decision making in group sessions brought directly to their villages.
This program trains women to become community anchors. They are trusted role models who inspire change from within through peer learning and lived example.
Women gather in sisterhood to learn together, solve problems collectively, and spark community change. These powerful gatherings are facilitated by trained Anchor Women.
We measure our impact rigorously and the results speak for themselves. Through our proven methodology we help women build confidence, strengthen livelihoods, launch businesses, and step into local leadership.

Villages and communities reached
Our programs currently reach women in Rombo and Moshi DC in the Kilimanjaro region.
“The Buzz Women program is built on sustainable empowerment. Rather than providing temporary solutions, we equip women with lasting skills and knowledge. Our Anchor Women create ongoing connection and support within communities, ensuring change endures. By bringing training directly to women’s doorsteps, we make participation accessible to all. We are proud to be part of the global Buzz Women network. We share best practices, learn from each other, and continuously improve. This cross-country collaboration strengthens both local impact and collective power.”
