IMED Foundation in collaboration with Charles Mott Foundation is implementing phase III of the TAREBI initiative, under the initiative since its inception in 2014 it has been promoting and developing small renewable energy businesses including the use of natural gas, charcoal and solar energy. This survey is mainly aimed at young graduates of technical colleges run by Don Bosco Network Tanzania by creating solar energy organizations that will be able to provide renewable energy services in rural areas.
In addition, young people who start commercial projects face various challenges including lack of capital, which is caused by a small amount of knowledge and lack of experience and networks. In that context, IMED Foundation with the support of C.S Mott Foundation provides seed capital in the form of solar energy tools for young people who show willingness to do business by starting to use their creativity, skills and time to start at least with small steps and prepare plans good business..
Currently TAREBI has 40 young people and all of them were able to participate in the relevant competition. In addition, 12 young people among them emerged as winners of the awards for being able to meet the criteria of the competition. All 40 young people will continue to be helped to prepare and implement their business plans, and receive training, advice and various guidelines to serve urban and rural customers, keep records and calculations, good use of the Internet, promote the market and provide good services to customers. TAREBI is part of a multi-stakeholder initiative supported by the C.S MOTT Foundation that aims to create a favourable environment for small, medium and local businesses in Tanzania. Those partners and stakeholders include TAMFI, DON BOSCO NERTWORK, KAKUTE Projects, and FRAXEN Consult.
