Our Mission
To catalyze socio-economic change amongst youth in most rural communities of Tanzania through talents and skills development.
Our Vision
To have a free and independent society in which its citizens(youth) can stand by their own feet and gain the confidence to fulfill their potentials.
Our Passion
To be an empowerment platform with different programs where youth can have access to showcase, explore and develop their talents in leadership, entrepreneurship, business, sports, music, arts etc
What we do
There are vast of social challenges facing young people in developing countries including Tanzania. Some never had opportunity to access formal education nor vocational training, and some lack a platform to show-case, explore and develop their talents in business, entrepreneurship, leadership, sports, music and perhaps arts & culture.
The idea of Baraco Foundation since 2018 was to become an empowerment platform for underserved youth where young people learn skills, practice and be able to earn. We are therefore establishing and running hands-on skills development spaces for youth in Tanzania giving young people affordable and inclusive access for all to acquire skills, knowledge and experience. Currently our programmes focuses on ICT and Tailoring skills development in Kitunda ward of Dar es salaam.
