\nAfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> Equity for Tanzania (EFTA), a financial and equipment loans providing firm, has provided entrepreneurship and financial management training to Mount Kilimanjaro porters.<\/p>\n

The training aimed at developing financial management skills which would enable porters to improve their businesses and manage their financials during low tourism season or when disasters hit the sector.<\/p>\n

The EFTA Marketing and Business Development Manager, Peter Temu said the training came after some of the sector workers and majority of the porters faced hardships financially when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world and during tourism low seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that some porters find themselves in difficult times financially when the low tourism season commences and global disasters hit, such as Covid-19, which impacted many people\u2019s lives worldwide,\u201d Mr Temu said recently.<\/p>\n

The training, thus, would enable porters to expand their income portfolio by establishing new businesses, a move which will help them survive during the low tourism season or when disasters such as Covid-19 occur.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, the firm said, some porters could not afford even one meal a day, simply because they depend on a single source of income. The training wants to impact some changes to them to prevent similar situations from befalling them again.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from improving their well-being, we at EFTA also believe that this training will give (porters) education to expand the scope of their businesses,\u201d Mr Temu said.<\/p>\n

The training facilitator, Mr Noel Katongo, advised the participants of the training to make sure they use the opportunity to improve their businesses as well as building good customer relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo strengthen your businesses, what is needed here is to create good relationships with your potential clients; this would enable your businesses to grow, survive and become sustainable,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
