In Tanzania, where many young women and youth face barriers to education, opportunity, and financial independence, meaningful community support can change the entire course of a life. Bangbet—one of Tanzania’s most recognizable entertainment brands—continues to demonstrate what responsible business leadership looks like through its powerful CSR collaboration with Safe Heaven Women Organization.
This partnership strengthens the transformative Binti Jasiri program, a 9-month vocational training initiative rooted in empowerment, skills, and dignity.
Held at the Safe Heaven Centre in Mwananyamala, Dar es Salaam, the program has supported more than 100 beneficiaries since its launch in 2024, and continues to welcome new participants—25 in the latest cohort. Through hands-on skill development and emotional support, Binti Jasiri is lighting a path for a strong, self-reliant generation of young women and youth across Tanzania.
An Empowerment Program Meeting Real Community Needs
Tanzania’s youth face high unemployment rates, limited access to practical skill training, and significant socio-economic challenges. Many young women, especially, struggle to find opportunities that equip them with the tools they need to thrive independently.
The Binti Jasiri program directly addresses these gaps by offering practical, income-generating skills tailored to the Tanzanian market. It provides a safe environment where young women and youth—including children with special needs—can learn, grow, and build confidence.
Key Skills Offered Include:
- Tailoring, cutting, and fashion design
- Hairdressing and beauty therapy
- Handcrafting, creative beadwork, and artworks
- Entrepreneurship and financial literacy
- Life skills and personal development training
These skills enable trainees to either pursue self-employment or secure work in local businesses, strengthening both individual livelihoods and community well-being.

A Meaningful Visit From Miss Grand 2025, Beatrice Alex
One of the highlights of Bangbet’s CSR activities is the personal engagement from its brand ambassador, Beatrice Alex, Miss Grand 2025. Her visit to the Mwananyamala center offered encouragement, validation, and inspiration to the trainees who look up to her as a symbol of resilience and success.
During her visit, Beatrice:
- Interacted with trainees in tailoring and beauty workshops
- Met with children with special needs participating in creative activities
- Encouraged young women to embrace confidence and courage

The Binti Jasiri initiative is more than a vocational program; it is a catalyst for lasting social change.
The Program’s Impact Includes:
- Enhancing economic independence for young women and youth
