Updated: Nov 19, 2020

FATMA MUZO, Country Manager Tanzania


Meet Fatma Mozu, the incredible woman and mastermind behind the impactful nonprofit "Solar Sister" we've partnered up with in our travel destination, Tanzania. Solar Sister delivers remote communities in Africa access to clean and affordable energy. A natural born activist for female empowerment and helping vulnerable populations, Fatma was born and raised in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania but moved to Arusha for pursuing higher education and work.


As country manager, Fatma plays a critical role in supervising, mentoring, and supporting the recruitment and training of Solar Sister Business Development Associates - who in turn work with local people and women in the solar entrepreneur work. Fatma also works with CARE International Tanzania in the Women Economic Empowerment Program as a Program Officer. Join us in Tanzania, where you'll work with Solar Sister on delivering the gift of solar light to families who need this valuable resource. It is Fatma's hope that, with the use of solar energy in African homes, families will be happier, children have have better education, and Africa will harness it's renewable solar energy to become a brighter place.

2. WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO ARUSHA, TANZANIA? WHAT CONTINUES TO INSPIRE YOU ABOUT THIS COUNTRY?

I moved to Arusha in 2013 when I got an interesting job opportunity to work for Solar Sister. I am inspired because this is my original home country, it is a peaceful country.
