It has received several awards for its innovative ways of solving community challenges that affect marginalized communities.

In Tanzania, nearly 37% of girls are married before the age of 18, leading to several serious consequences. Early marriage often disrupts education, causing girls to drop out of school and limiting their future opportunities, thereby perpetuating poverty. Child brides face significant health risks, including complications from early pregnancies and childbirth, and are more vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Economic dependence on spouses limits their financial independence and decision-making power. They are at higher risk of domestic violence and abuse, with severe psychological impacts such as depression and anxiety. This cycle perpetuates intergenerational poverty and reinforces social inequality by limiting girls' and women's ability to participate fully in society, undermining gender equality and empowerment efforts.

Tai's innovative solution to Tanzania's challenges centres on using digital media and storytelling to educate, empower, and inspire social change. Through traditional and digital platforms, our content reaches over 12 million viewers and listeners.
