In May 2023 we had over 2,300 mining community members receive capacity-building training. Women and youth from Chunya, Winza, Lindi, Kahama, and Shinyanga showcased their mineral produce and gained market exposure. We also had Financial literacy training by CRDB Bank Plc, an artisanal mining services overview by STAMICO Tanzania, and a session on the importance of geological data by the Geological Survey of Tanzania. The Deputy Minister of Mines, Dr. Steven Kiruswa attended and endorsed the program. It's one of the impactful moments that we reflect at the end of the year as say we're grateful for the partners, government, and everyone who made it possible. #twimmi #WomeninMining #WomeninMineralValueAddition

Time to Reflect and Celebrate. As we count down to 2025, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the milestones we’ve achieved together this year.  Aligning with President Samia Suluhu’s vision for clean energy and environmental protection. In March, we had a Clean Energy Initiative. We empowered 150 women miners with gas cylinders, paving the way for a shift from charcoal to clean cooking energy. We took a stand to embrace a greener and more sustainable future. As we look forward, we’re doubling down our commitment to empowering women in mining. PS: What was your proudest moment this year?
