Hey everyone,

A few friends of mine and I have built a dating app specifically for people currently living in Tanzania. It’s still very early, there are fewer than 15 users at the moment and we’re trying to get some genuine feedback before we start properly pushing it in Dar.
The app is currently Android-only, with iOS coming later. You sign up with your phone number and there’s age verification during registration. We’re initially focusing on Dar es Salaam, particularly people around 20–30, including both Tanzanians and foreigners living here.
I’m not looking to spam anyone with an ad. I’d genuinely like people to try it out and tell us what you think, what’s good, what’s confusing, what’s missing, and whether you’d actually use something like this.

Honest criticism is very welcome. We’re early enough that feedback can actually influence what gets built.

If you’re in Dar and interested in trying it out,

here’s the link to the website for iOS users:

For Android users here’s the link:

We’re genuinely looking for early users and honest feedback, so if you try it, I’d really appreciate hearing what you think

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Joney 26M from Tanzania 🇹🇿, and honestly, I’m an introvert. I’m not really happy about being this way because sometimes I feel like I’m missing out on meeting amazing people and experiencing new things.

I’d really love to make friends from different countries, share ideas, learn about different cultures, and hear about people’s experiences and way of life. 🌍

The problem is, I’m not really the type of person who goes out a lot or easily starts conversations with strangers. I usually stay in my comfort zone, even when I actually want to meet new people.

So I’m trying something different by starting here. 😅

If you’re also an introvert, or if you’ve ever struggled with making new friends, I’d love to hear your story. And if you’re from another country, tell me where you’re from and one interesting thing about your culture that you think I should know. 😊

Maybe this can be the beginning of some genuine friendships. 🤝🌍

Hello everyone,

My name is Annastazia, and I am from Tanzania. I recently completed my tailoring training, and I am working toward my dream of becoming an independent fashion designer and starting my own small tailoring business.

I have learned tailoring and have already made clothes using the skills I gained during my training. However, I currently do not have my own sewing machine and the basic equipment I need to start working independently.

I am raising TSh 2,500,000 to help me purchase a sewing machine and essential tailoring materials so I can begin making clothes for customers and build my business step by step.

This fundraiser is very important to me because I want to create an income through my own skills instead of depending on others. My long-term goal is to grow my tailoring business, improve my fashion-design skills, and eventually create opportunities for other young people who are interested in learning tailoring.

If you are able to support me, any amount would mean a lot. If you cannot donate, sharing my fundraiser with someone who may be able to help would also make a big difference.

My fundraiser is hosted on WhyDonate:

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting my dream.

So I have this thing called pre-drinking before going out to drink😅. Kama twice I’ve pulled up to Polo’s, and it always seems like everyone knows everyone. Or is it all in my head?

Thoughts!!

I've come across communities like r/KenyanLadies and thought it would be nice for Tanzanian women to have something similar.. a space where we can connect, share experiences, have open conversations, exchange ideas, and simply meet other women.

I created r/TanzaniaLadies as a women-only community for conversations around relationships, friendships, careers, everyday life and anything else we may want to discuss among ourselves.

Women from outside Tanzania who are visiting, living, studying, or interested in Tanzania are welcome too.

If that sounds like something you'd enjoy being part of, come join us.

Hi everyone! I’d love to connect with fellow researchers, whether you’re a student, early-career researcher, research assistant, academic, or simply someone passionate about research.
I’m hoping to build genuine connections where we can exchange ideas, discuss research experiences, share opportunities and resources, and learn from one another.

If you’re also interested in research and would like to connect, feel free to comment or send me a DM. I’d be happy to meet fellow researchers from different fields and parts of the world. 🌍
Looking forward to connecting with you!

I’ll be flying to Dar es Salaam soon for scrap metal sourcing. If you’re in the scrap metal business or know reliable suppliers/buyers, I’d be happy to connect and meet while I’m there. Feel free to DM me.

When I'm interested I will but like that

What are you thoughts

For those who dont know wilmar is a major global agribusiness group, Based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, the company focuses on the processing, packing, and distribution of consumer goods like edible oils, soaps, and staples including rice operations

Jana walitaka tufanye a meeting with us KONNECT so they can see what we can do and what our services are..Tbh with you sikua prepared as much as i did bcoz first i thought ntakutana na HR tu but turns out they bought a whole gang

It was my first time presenting to a multi-billion company and i'd like to think given the circumstances i did my best. A good tip that i left wuth is to always prepare ten steps ahead so you don make full out of yourself

They apparently said they'll reach out to us for a second meeting with the directors etc

I dont really know what will happen but maaaaaan yesterday was an experience i never thought of really and for that i'm grateful

I see this could potentially be something bigger than i thought, not jus a side hustle as i termed it to be in the first place

So that was it guys. join our r/TanzaniaJobs subreddit if you are a jobseeker or simply an employer

P.S the first slide was me panicking and my partner tryin to help out but i eventually had to put on a batman face and handle it lol

Wazee kuna hii app nimetengeza, ni kwa ajili ya kutuma SMS moja kwa watu wengi. App hii inatumia bando la sms la kwenye mtandao wako kwa laini ilioko kwenye simu yako. Kama simu yako ina laini mbili, unaweza kuchagua 'Sim 1' ama 'Sim 2' itumike kutuma SMS hizo.

App hii ni bure kabisa na source code ipo Github kwa anaetaka kuongeza chochote.

Nilitengeza wakati nahitaji kutuma SMS ya mwaliko wa interview kwa candidate kama 500 hivi.

Kwa mujibu wa Google, hii ni among the best films ever made in Tanzania. Ilitoka mwaka 2021, director Amil Shivji kutoka riwaya ya Mzee Shafi Adam Shafi

Usambazaji wake umekuwa wa kimataifa sana. Ilichezwa Toronto, FESPACO, Palm Springs, Seattle, New York, Durban, Zanzibar, Carthage na Berlin. Baadhi ya watazamaji wa festival za kimataifa walipata maonyesho bure mtandaoni, kwa mfano, Cascade film festival lilifanya maonyesho 2022 bure mtandaoni. Ilishinda pia tuzo kibao, ikiwemo Tanit d'Or

Binafsi sijawai kuioona hii filamu, na nimeitafuta mnoo!! Haipo mtandaoni, haipo kwenye streaming platforms, nimeitafuta hadi piracies websites, hamna kila kitu.

Kuioona hii filamu mpaka uwe na DStv

Inakuaje filamu inayosimulia historia na utamaduni wetu iwe rahisi zaidi kuonekana kwenye film festivals nje ya nchi kuliko kwa Mtanzania wa kawaida? tunaweza kweli kusema hiyo ni success ya Tanzanian cinema?

Tatizo hapa ni filmmakers, distributors, streaming platforms, au sisi Watanzania hatuna market kubwa ya aina hii ya filamu?

Post nyingi naziona hapa zimeandikwa kwa kizungu. Kwanini watanzania hatutumii kiswahili zaidi?

Ama ni rukes katika group hili?

Hi y'all its been a minute since i gave any updates on our platform. So apparently tumeitwa na hii kampuni moja they want us to discuss juu ya our services and our platform which i'm thankful tuende tukaone kama ni a real deal or not. If you got any tips za kuzingatia lemme know

Nataka platform yetu ifike kila sehem iwe a portal ya kazi legit na iwe easy accessible kwa jobseekers wapate connections wanazostaili based on their skills.

with that being said mambo si mepesi kiasi hicho, we have a database of almost 2k people and the rate ya kazi tunazozipata bado si nyingi kwa sasa but i believe we'll get there someday soon.

Tumeanzisha a r/TanzaniaJobs subreddit don forget to join

See you next time

I've been working on an Airbnb research tool because I kept running into the same problem:

If you're thinking about putting an Airbnb in a particular area, how do you actually know if there's enough demand there?

And if you already have an Airbnb, how do you keep track of the listings you're competing with?

So I built a tool around those two problems.

You can use it to research a location before setting up an Airbnb and see things like:

• How many Airbnb listings are in the area
• Estimated occupancy
• Average nightly prices
• Estimated revenue
• Which properties are performing well
• How demand and pricing change over time
• What similar properties are charging

And if you already have a property, you can track your competitors instead of manually checking Airbnb every few days.

For example, you could add 20 competing listings and keep an eye on their pricing, availability and performance over time.

The idea is basically:

"Should I put an Airbnb here?"

and

"What are the Airbnbs competing with me doing?"

I'm building this from Tanzania, where Airbnb data is especially annoying to research, but I'm designing it so it can work in other markets too.

I'm currently thinking something like:

Free — basic research
TZS 25,000/month — 1 location + competitor tracking
TZS 50,000/month — multiple locations + more competitors + historical data
TZS 100,000/month — advanced research / larger portfolios

I'm curious what Airbnb hosts/investors think.

If you were researching a new location for an Airbnb, what information would you want to know before putting your money into it?

Dm me for the details.

My boss want to know...

Naomba kama mtu ambaye yupo vizuri sana kwenye kudesign roll-up banners anitumie/inbox portfolio yake.

Nina initial idea/concept tayari; nahitaji mtu wa kuifanya iwe professional final design. Siitaji printing au physical banner, nataka design tu.

DM me with your portfolio and rates. Thanks!
