Twende is a social innovation center in Arusha, Tanzania, that empowers people to design and make their own technologies to address community problems.
When many people think of incubators or accelerators, they picture large business initiatives born out of high-income countries. Yet Twende is a local incubator — backed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Segal Family Foundation, Australian Aid, AfriLabs, among others — that is accelerating local technological innovations across the country.
