TACE - Tanzania Community Enterprise
Fund
  
TACE addresses
issues of chronic economic hardship. Originally
we worked with choral groups where choir members
came together with a common voice to share their
values and describe their role in the community.
COSAD tapped their talents to create economic opportunities
by identifying and creating appropriate projects
for individuals within each group.
Now, TACE
has expanded it role to develop community intiatives
with other groups. For example, our "One Woman/One
Goat" initiative seeks to acquire 100 dairy goats
for the women of Izigo Ward. In addition, we
want to build improved housing facilities
for milking goats and train an artificial
insemination technician to help improve milk production
for the families.
With your
donation, you can help provide stock, materials,
and training for micro projects/micro business management
skills and small loans to carry out these projects
and find market access for their products.
Your Donations Count
A goat for a woman to start a milk goat enterprise and help feed her family costs just $100
A sewing machine that becomes a money-making enterprise for a woman costs just $200
A rainwater retention system that provides water for 10 familes costs just $500
A micro-loan to a community choir to initiate microenterprises for the members
and their families costs just $1000
Your donations help support these enterprises and the necessary staff and facilities in Tanzania
that
make it all happen. Please contribute today.
