About iMbeju Program

A Seed Capital for Youth and Women

iMBEJU is more than just a program; it’s a catalyst for change that provides mentorship, coaching, capacity building, and seed capital funding to help youth and women entrepreneurs formalize their businesses and access untapped markets. The iMBEJU program operates under two models: competitive and non-competitive model. 

iMBEJU Competitive Model

The iMBEJU competitive model is a beacon of hope for young entrepreneurs. With collaboration with partners such as the ICT Commission (ICTC) and the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), this model seeks to identify and uplift innovative startups run by youth in Tanzania. Through iMBEJU, these startups have the potential to grow and become powerful engines of change, empowering their founders and transforming their communities.

iMBEJU Non Competitive Model

The iMBEJU non-competitive model empowers women entrepreneurs to achieve their business goals. We offer comprehensive training, coaching, and funding opportunities in partnership with women-registered groups or clusters. We aim to create a world where women can access the resources and support needed to thrive in their entrepreneurial ventures.
