We are feminist organisation working to advancing education, dignity and wellness of girls and young women in rural communities in Tanzania.
We are a youth- and women-led feminist organization based in Tanzania, committed to advancing gender equality and educational justice. We create safe spaces, promote access to education, drive economic empowerment, support survivors of gender-based violence, and amplify girls' and young women's voices to influence policies and systems.
We work with adolescent girls, young women, teen mothers, and communities — especially in rural and marginalized areas — to challenge harmful norms, build confidence, and create opportunities for leadership and independence.
Through education advocacy, social enterprise, health programs, and movement-building, WOYOMO envisions a just Tanzania where girls and women are free, equal, and thriving.

Our mission is to advance the education, dignity, and wellness of girls and young women in rural communities in Tanzania by empowering them with knowledge, support, and opportunities to claim their rights, exercise their power, and make informed choices about their lives and futures.
We envision a community free from gender inequalities, where girls enjoy access to their rights, have their power and make choices and decisions for themselves.
WOYOMO believes that breaking gender inequalities in rural and urban Tanzania requires empowering girls and women through education, technology, safe spaces, and economic opportunities. We work with adolescent girls, teen mothers, survivors of gender-based violence, and women to build their confidence, skills, and financial independence because access to psychosocial support, social learning, and economic empowerment allows them to define their own futures and thrive.
We collaborate with feminist activists, teachers, community leaders, policymakers, and the private sector because shifting harmful norms and strengthening policies demands collective action. By combining education advocacy, survivor support, social enterprise, and policy influence, WOYOMO seeks to create communities that rise against injustice, ensure women and girls know their rights, achieve financial freedom, and live in a world where they are free from violence and have equal opportunities to reach their full potential.
WOYOMO employs a holistic, feminist, and community-driven model built on three powerful pillars — each one reinforcing the other on the path to lasting change.
Knowledge is power, and we pour it into girls without hesitation. We believe education is one of the most powerful tools for girls and young women to shape their futures, gain independence, and lead change in their communities. So, we invest in girls’ education by ensuring they stay in school, complete their studies, and access equal learning opportunities without barriers. Our work addresses the social and structural challenges that prevent girls from learning, including teenage pregnancy, early marriage, stigma, and lack of support systems.
Building Knowledge & Skills
We enable girls and young women by creating supportive environments where they can learn, grow, and claim their rights. Through safe spaces, mentorship, and community engagement, we ensure girls have access to the information, resources, and networks they need to thrive.By nurturing leadership and collective power, we help girls move beyond barriers and become active voices for change in their communities.
Economic Opportunity & Safe Spaces
Lasting change requires transforming the systems, norms, and policies that continue to limit the rights and opportunities of girls and young women. We recognize that no single organization can shift these systems alone. That is why we work through movements, feminist collaborations, and collective action to amplify impact and drive meaningful change.We partner with feminist activists, grassroots organizations, educators, community leaders, and policymakers to challenge harmful social norms, address gender inequality, and strengthen accountability for girls’ rights.
Shifting Systems & Policy
These principles are our compass — forged from the lived experiences of the girls and women we serve, and unwavering in every decision we make.
We embrace feminism not as a slogan, but as a living commitment — advocating for gender equality, dismantling patriarchal structures, and believing without compromise that girls and women have every right to lead, choose, and thrive.
Every girl matters — regardless of her background, ethnicity, religion, or ability. We build spaces where all are welcome, all are valued, and all have an equal seat at the table of opportunity.
We lead with empathy, always centering the emotional and psychological wellbeing of the girls and survivors we serve. Every interaction is guided by deep respect for their dignity, healing, and humanity.
The girls we serve trust us with their stories, their futures, and their hope. We honor that trust by operating with complete transparency, rigorous accountability, and a relentless commitment to doing what we say we will do.
Four interconnected pillars guiding our five-year strategy for transforming the lives of girls and young women in Tanzania.
To advance educational justice for girls and young women in rural and marginalized communities by removing barriers to learning, supporting school retention and re-entry for teen mothers, and creating safe, inclusive learning environments where girls can thrive and reach their full potential.
Girls cannot flourish in environments that diminish them. We build sanctuaries of belonging where girls discover their voice, their worth, and their power to change the world.
Individual transformation is the spark — systemic change is the fire. We collaborate with feminists, activists, and institutions across Tanzania and beyond, organizing girls as change-makers and advocates who are rewriting the rules for generations to come.
To promote the holistic wellness of girls and young women in rural and marginalized communities by providing access to safe spaces, psychosocial support, and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) education, enabling them to live with dignity, make informed decisions, and thrive in their education and communities.
"Before joining Girls Buzz, I was shy and believed my voice didn't matter. Now I lead discussions in my school and advocate for girls' right to stay in education. WOYOMO helped me find my voice — and I will never be silent again."
"After I had my baby, my family said my life was over. WOYOMO helped me return to school and now I earn my own income through Handmade Hope. I am proud, I am independent, and I proved every doubter wrong."
"Beyond Limits helped me understand that what happened to me was not my fault. The support group gave me the courage to heal. Today I run my own small business and I hold out a hand to other survivors."
"Before the Health Spark Project, I did not know about consent or my rights. Now I teach my peers how to stay safe and speak up. I am empowered — and I refuse to stay silent about things that matter."
