The Going Beyond – Partnering for a Youth-Led Future project is funded by Digital
Opportunity Trust (DOT) and the Mastercard Foundation. As one of the implementing
partners, Songambele Initiative plays a vital role in ensuring that youth with disabilities,
especially, are not left behind in the digital and entrepreneurial economy.
Through this project, Songambele is empowering youth with disabilities by equipping them
with relevant entrepreneurial and digital business skills while actively creating visibility and
opportunity for their inclusion in leadership, business, and innovation spaces. This initiative
is not only about skill-building but also about amplifying the voices, agency, and resilience of
people with disabilities in Tanzania.
Beyond training, the project is building a supportive ecosystem that champions disability
inclusion, challenges stigma, and promotes long-term transformational change.

Songambele’s involvement ensures that youth with disabilities are seen, heard, and
empowered to drive positive change in their communities and beyond
