Arusha Women Entrepreneur

Creating a supply chain that secures income for peanut farmers

2014 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Sustainable Agriculture Arusha, Tanzania

AWE is committed to bridging gaps of economic disparity among poor self-employed women and developing self-determination.

AWE is supporting unemployed women from Arusha city by engaging them in the processing of food and marketing of peanut butter.

AWE will improve incomes and livelihoods in rural areas.

Our enterprise employs unskilled women from underserved communities in the processes of making and marketing peanut butter.

AWE has created a value supply chain from the production and marketing of aflatoxin-free, natural peanut butter. Generating multiple income-earning opportunities, the enterprise uses an inclusive business model. It employs women from peri-urban Arusha and, together with partner World Vision, provides technical and management skills training to smallholder farmers.

Semi-processed peanut butter sold wholesale drives most revenue, however diversification into by-products such as animal feed and briquettes could prove profitable. Arusha Women Entrepreneur has significantly increased the incomes of unemployed women from peri-urban Arusha and smallholder peanut farmers from Nzega Simbo.
