Kubuni Centre and Collaborative
Kubuni ("to create" in Kiswahili) serves as a platform to support local capacity building, innovation and knowledge sharing with the aim of creating equal opportunities for Tanzanians and bridging the gap in knowledge production through practical applications.
The Kubuni Centre and Collaborative is our innovation hub providing the industrial space and capacity building to entrepreneurs in Mbeya Region. Focused on community empowerment, the Kubuni Centre, provides the skills, resources and physical space for Tanzanians to realize their creative ideas.
- Capacity Building: We define capacity building as the process of developing and strengthening skills Tanzanians need to thrive in today’s world. We do so by providing training, workshops, and support with the end goal of students being capable of completing tasks independently.
- Innovation: We define innovation as providing the space and materials to experiment, create and make mistakes in their product and business designs. We believe the best products are made through doing and re-doing!
- Knowledge Sharing: We define knowledge sharing as the transfer of valuable skills, methods and information through international, national, and local relationships and networks. We believe that the best way to learn is to pass down experience, not copy from a board!
