Dar es Salaam - 27.08.2022 – Tanzania Youth Entrepreneurship held its 3rd business fair that showcased various businesses launched by young children. The business fair took place at Mtana Restaurant, in Oysterbay, Dar es Salaam on the 27th of August 2022.

Children have dreams and passions, as parents and role models we need to encourage our children to follow their dreams and make a difference in their communities. These kid entrepreneurs teach us how to dig deeply to uncover our passions—and think about how we can use those passions to launch a business. This was an opportunity to show support to these children and their businesses and encourage them.

As we support these young entrepreneurs, we lead the way for a country that creates jobs in the private sector. It also encourages other young children to not give up and they become the faces of the future.

Parents were encouraged to bring their children see their peers showcase their businesses. They were also able to learn more about other businesses, to be encouraged and learn new skills.
