HUHESO Foundation empowers communities by equipping individuals — especially young women — with skills, capital, and confidence to build their own income-generating futures.
Through savings groups, vocational hubs, and entrepreneurship training, HUHESO Foundation strengthens financial resilience and independence among marginalized populations. Our focus is on adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), many of whom face poverty, early marriage risks, and limited economic opportunity.
We facilitate WORTH and WORTH360 groups that promote savings, borrowing, and investment. Participants receive business skills training, mentorship, and startup support through Economic Strengthening Hubs (ESHs), offering hands-on learning in tailoring, batik making, soap production, farming, and more.
This program directly supports Tanzania’s broader goals of youth employment, financial inclusion, and gender equity.
