From The Programme

In the digital age, the real-world status of women and girls has become indivisible from its online counterpart. “We are living in 2022,” Rania emphasizes. “We can’t separate gender equality and technology.”

FEET is in the process of developing an app for the Girls Entrepreneurship Camps. The app, will be made available on IOS and Android in Swahili and English, offering users a digital platform with entrepreneurship related games, quizzes, forums and other interactive content to get a feel about what it takes to have an idea to reality.

Promoting innovation through girls empowerment

In a world where women are still underrepresented in the business world, the Foundation for the Educational and Environmental Advancement of Tanzanians (FEET) is working to change that by empowering young girls to become entrepreneurs.

FEET Tanzania has launched a Girls Entrepreneurship Camp (GEC) aimed at providing essential skills needed for success in school, at home, and in future careers. The program has been running in different schools in Tanzania since August 2022, and so far, 22 schools have benefitted from it.

The GEC was designed by Rania Nasser (a Tanzanian student at UC Berkeley) and a cofounder of FEET to prepare girls aged between 14 and 18 for the rigors of becoming an entrepreneur and to teach them the process of starting and running an enterprise. The program spans over two days, during which participants work in teams and are mentored by coaches. On the third day, students present and defend their solutions before a panel of industry experts.
