The United Republic of Tanzania is one of Africa’s is known for its peace and stability. A wellmaintained infrastructure and three international road or by air. Tanzania’s people are a diverse cosmopolitan professionals united by a common community.
Tanzania has played an essential part in the life of the African Continent. The great wildebeest migration alone comprises the largest movement of land animals on the planet. With over 25% of the country’s totallandmass dedicated to wildlife parks and conservation areas, Tanzania remains wholeheartedly committed to the

preservation of Africa’s great wilderness and incredible range of animal species.
Tanzania was recently voted the best safari country in Africa by both international visitors and by specialised safari operators. Even more recently, and after a four year worldwide search, it now
also boasts the top three ‘Natural Wonders of Africa’. The Serengeti National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro Crater outvoting the River Nile, the Red Sea Reef, the Sahara Desert and Botswana’s Okavango Delta.
Tanzania has also been named as one of the world’s top five
‘most stunningly beautiful countries’ by Fox TV News. The country’s 16 national parks, which protect more than 25% of its land, are home to 20% of the African continent’s larger mammals so it is little wonder game viewing experiences are the best in Africa.
Serengeti National Park, one of the most well-known of all wildlife areas, attracts thousands of visitors each year for the annual wildebeest migration, and Ngorongoro crater – often called the 8th Natural Wonder of the World – is a must see for it’s sheer beauty. Deep within the ancient caldera, herds of gazelle roam beside sated lions, and endangered black rhino and elusive cheetah can be spotted through the early morning mist. Still, the big-name parks aren’t all the country has to offer. The elephants of Tarangire National Park and the treeclimbing lions of Lake Manyara also reward the discerning traveler. The Saadani Game Reserve, famed for its views of elephant playing in the Indian Ocean surf, is just one of many lesser-known national parks that offer equally rewarding experiences for guests willing to wander off the beaten track.
Tanzania has a wealth of diverse groups that make up it’s national community.
Huntergatherer groups and Maasai herders coexist in the Northern wilderness, and lesser know communities like the Wadorobo and the Iraqw also make up the collage of the country. Cultural tourism has become a popular choice for many visitors to Tanzania, with different programmes and itineraries on offer around the country.
From day-hikes on the slopes of Mt Meru to honey collecting in the Usambaras, discovering local culture is a highlight for any visitor to Africa.
But the magic of safari isn’t all this great country has to offer. Tropical beaches, coral reefs and Swahili culture along the Indian Ocean coast are also a major attraction for visitors who want to end their experience of Africa’s natural wonders with some well-earned relaxation.
For the more intrepid adventurers, a climb to the rooftop of Africa, Mt Kilimanjaro, is the highlight of a safari itinerary. Longer treks through the Ngorongoro Conservation area, through the magical Gol Mountains, up the active volcano of Ol Donyo Lengai or down Lake Tanganyika are a fantastic way to experience less-visited parts of the country in a new way.
So welcome to Tanzania –experience the warmth of our people, the magic of our wilderness, and the splendor of our wildlife.

“Good things come to those who are prepared to work hard for them,” says Shantale, whose success as a poultry producer has become an inspiration in her community.
As a member of the Bunju Women Empowerment Group (BWE), she had access to a network of supportive women, but her business needed more than just encouragement—it needed resources.
That’s where the Imbeju Program, supported by the CRDB Bank Foundation, came in. The program offers training and seed capital to women and youth entrepreneurs, aiming to enhance their businesses and promote inclusive economic growth. For Shantale, The Imbeju program was a turning point.
At the time, Shantale ran a smallscale poultry operation on her family farm, but she struggled with limited resources and knowledge of entrepreneurship development. Through the Imbeju Program, she received extensive training that covered everything from financial literacy to business management to marketing strategies. She learned how to streamline her operations and effectively reach her target market. She also benefited from the seed capital facilitated by the CRDB Bank Foundation,
Over the course of the program, the Imbeju program, through the CRDB Bank Foundation, has reached over 306,376 people through capacity-building, providing knowledge and support. Additionally, it has provided more than 8.25 billion in seed capital to beneficiaries, enabling them to scale their businesses and contribute to their local economies. This success highlights the transformative power of the program in changing individual lives and also strengthening entire communities, ensuring that youth and women entrepreneurs like Shantale can continue to grow and thrive.
which allowed her to improve her infrastructure and acquire highquality breeds.
With the seed funding of TZS 5,000,000, Shantale was able to improve her farm’s infrastructure, including better housing for the poultry. She increased the numbers of poultry from 3500 to 6760. This improvement enabled her to grow her revenue by 40%, which in turn allowed her to create employment for four more people who now take care of the farm.
“I learned so much about proper poultry business, from the importance of a nutritious diet to creating an ideal environment for the birds,” Shantale explains. “The improved breed and the funds to build better housing have made a huge difference. My chickens are healthier, and the overall quality of my poultry has improved.”
Shantale’s success has positively impacted her community. Her Son, who assists with the farm proudly shares their success story with others. “I am happy to show people how effective poultry management can be when supported by the right resources,” He says. “Seeing the results of better breeding and animal care motivates others to improve their practices.”
“Building and managing a successful poultry farm takes a lot of hard work, but the benefits are visible to everyone,” Shantale notes. Her journey shows the effectiveness of the Imbeju Program, which, through its focus on empowering women and youth and bringing about economic inclusion, has played a huge role in her achievements.
As Shantale’s business grew, so did her confidence. She became a show of success within the Bunju Women Empowerment Group, inspiring others to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. The Imbeju Program, with its focus on empowering women and promoting an inclusive economy, proved to be a transformative force for Shantale and many others in the program.
Through the support of the CRDB Bank Foundation and the Imbeju Program, Shantale has turned her poultry business into a thriving enterprise, showcasing how dedication and the right resources can lead to success. The impact of the seed capital and improved infrastructure is evident in her increased revenue, job creation, and the overall growth of her business.

JOB! YOU GOT THE WHAT? Now
Once you’re “on the job,” there are many immediate career challenges to attend to. Experts such as Michael Watkins believe that you have 90 days in a new job to make your impact and create the permanent impression that people in the organization will have of you and your leadership capabilities.
Having worked with thousands of executives who have successfully secured new positions, in my opinion, there are five priorities that you should focus on during the first 90 days:
Establish Positive Relationships
With your new colleagues, develop good communication habits to maintain those relationships. Be honest, open, friendly, reliable and clear. Be outgoing and introduce yourself to co-workers (don’t wait for them to approach you).
Develop a Reputation
For producing tangible results for keeping commitment and for meeting deadlines. Immediately start a “success file” and track your accomplishments and contributions. Make note of
You’ve finally landed the job. Is this a good time to settle in and take it easy for a while, or is this the worst time to take your foot off the “career gas pedal?” A lot of people in this situation might think, “Whew – now I can relax, cruise a while and rest on my laurels.” Actually, your work is just beginning –but so is your “glory”!
the positive feedback you get from others in conversation and in writing – from clients, managers, colleagues and vendors.
Communicate
Plans and progress to your superiors and to your team. Become known for setting challenging goals and completing projects ontime and on-budget with measurable results.
In-house Contact Network
Begin building your own in-house contact network. Cultivate good relationships with everyone – including the employees above and below your level. Get to know people’s names. Reach out to the mail guy, the security guard, the IT guru, your manager’s executive assistant –everyone!
Healthy Balance
Maintain a healthy balance between your work life and your private life. Make sure that you don’t “go overboard” with your enthusiasm for your new job. Family time, hobbies and “recharging your batteries” are all part of your long-term professional effectiveness and success.
In summary, you must focus on garnering respect, visibility and credibility during your first 90 days on the job. The precedents you establish during this period will tend to last for your entire tenure at that organization. So, this “thumbprint period” is critically important to your long-term success!

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Tips for women to stay ahead in today’s marketplace
Many women set out on one course and change several times before settling on a role that feels right for them. So, what’s the answer? Is having a career an outdated concept for today’s marketplace? Here are my 5 career tips to shift the way you think about your work.
1. Know yourself: Before we can really begin to progress and be successful, we must get to know and understand who we really are, as opposed to who we’ve become, and then learn how to market and promote all of our many capabilities and talents. This exercise should be revisited at critical stages in our life because as we grow and evolve our needs and desires change. Empowered women understand that a balanced perspective is an inside out process.
2.Get Totally Clear on What You Want: A tricky area to navigate and I’d say the number one reason why most women remain stuck in roles and careers that keep them unfulfilled is because we never give enough time or consideration to what we really want to do with our lives. We delay and put off stuff through fear, lack of know-how, poor goal setting or generally because we put our needs last and the family needs first. You’ve
got to confront those deeper questions like what makes you happy and what is going to fit in with your broader life goals like raising a family or working less so you can travel more.
3.Find the Right Environment: Cultures should be carefully examined and tested because many are a world apart from the sexy brand images and persuasive advertising of those manufactured lists like the top 100 best companies to work for. That starts with understanding what you are known for within your business then growing, learning and building upon this by contributing to projects and developing great contacts. It’s about keeping your online data up to date whilst highlighting your best work.
4. Forget the Job Title: Your title does not define you nor cushion you from redundancy or change. It’s a very outdated concept based on a society that values educational achievement above all else but one that only teaches kids to pass exams. Job titles don’t carry the financial assurances they once did. Organisations are invariably flatter and many career development paths are increasingly lateral rather than upward. Upwards is not always best, often leading to increasing bureaucracy and distance from
the very aspects of the role you found appealing in the first place and that’s before you have to tackle the male dominated boardrooms.
5.It’s Not All About the Money: Money makes the world go round of course but many women, whilst I think we fare better than men on this subject, have fallen into the trap of seeing work as a functional necessity rather than a pleasurable, fulfilling and meaningful pursuit. Purposeful work doesn’t have to be reserved for a tiny elite bunch of individuals like artists and creative types. In this brave new world, we’ve all got to learn how to be artists whether that’s working for yourself, freelancing or as a corporate executive in big business. Our careers can give us the opportunities to do work we love as well as the ability to continuously learn and create as well as making a worthy contribution.
So, if you’re fed up with the career you’ve chosen, my best career tip is this: focus on reinventing yourself because it’s never too late to transition to something altogether more rewarding. ............................ Issued by Kath Roberts

“AMEDEUS
When the colors mix on a fabric to form bold, vibrant designs, you get a stunning African print. Tanzanian designers are not letting that opportunity pass by, they use all their imagination to create masterpieces.
They are claiming the fashion industry stage from the
Swahili Fashion Week in Dar es Salaam to the MercedesBenz Fashion Week in South Africa. Tanzanian designers are pushing the boundaries with a simple “Kitenge” leaving masterpieces in their wake.
Every month Dar Life dedicates this section to young emerging and well-
known designers who want to create brands and use the fashion platform as a stepping stone towards achieving their dream. This month we meet Amedeus Antony Chuwa whose ideas in designing clothes and accessories are amazing, you must watch out!
The course lasted for 2 years
ANTONY CHUWA” “AMEDEUS ANTONY CHUWA”
of which his German teacher flew to Tanzania to personally coach him and show him how to pass on knowledge to his peers. It was at that time that he felt confident enough in his skills as a fashion designer and a tailor, he decided to open Chuwa Fashion. Currently, he designs and creates his own items.
He designs and creates his work around German protocol, a tailoring method used to increase and maintain the quality and life span of various clothing items. This method is rarely used among Tanzanian tailors and fashion designers. This is one of the key factors that separate Chuwa fashion products from other fashion designers in
the industry.
Today Chuwa is a classically trained tailor, set out to produce a clothing line both Afrocentric and vibrant, and to use fashion as a way to showcase his own sensibilities with the rich cultural inheritance of the Swahili coast to the world.
