It will be ready for use in the month of November.

TYC in collaboration with Sahringonet

STORY

Do you believe that Your Success depends on being yourself and believing in oneself.

Hi friends!

It’s a long time since we met. Your success depends on being your self and believing in your self

“How can I do it, how can I succeed in doing this or that and how can I afford it” These are questions asked by American business man Robert Kiyosaki. Many of us fail because we don’t know that believing in ourselves is as important as being ourselves. Being ourselves means being true to who we are, believing in our abilities, doing things in our own styles adding needed efforts. Trying to reach our destiny might be good but doing and not saying I am trying is best, every achievement is vital no matter how little it is. We fail because we fear to do things and take decisions. Never fear just get out and do it, be true to yourself and do what you can do to your level best. Don’t look at what others will say or think but come out and do what you can do to your level best. Be yourself and believe in you self, do it in your own way and your style, don’t forget to learn from your so called mistakes they are not mistakes but stepping stones.

This is manifested by the formation of a Youth led SACCOS to cater for youth accessibility to financing.

The next “Jukwaas” is going to cover the sixteen (16) districts in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. TYC is planning to rich-out a total number of 1600 youth having 100 youth per district within the existing and functioning District Youth Platforms. September/October is a key month as the Planning cycle of the LGAs starts with the obstacle and opportunity for development (O&OD) process at village levels. TYC with the Youth Platforms intends to influence this very stage by having youth voices heard at policy making bodies within the LGAs.
Youth in Masasi District have been mobilized and are taking action!

STORY
Aunt Sadaka
Do you believe that Your Success Depends on How Others Back You Up.
Hi friends!
It’s a long time since we discussed about why It Pays to be nice to people, today I want to share with you that your happiness is dependent on how you as an individual can go about trying to gain the love, respect and backing of your family, your friends and your associates.
Our personalities are echoes of our contacts with other people. In practical sense, our day to day emotional stature is molded and shaped not by our hands but by the words and actions of others for or against us.
In my own experience, I have learned repeatedly that it is a sound, practical philosophy to remember that, it is much easier to get along with everyone than it is to get along with only one or two! Not until I learned to bow to other fellow, to adjust to idiosyncrasies, to mould my temperament, to block an argument and to cultivate in its place understanding and agreement, then I can make my destiny more favorable.

I wish you Ramadhan Mubarak.
