The online archive Kestoria Kavazi was finally launched on June 4, three years after it was initiated as the coronavirus pandemic slowed down its progress.

The archive was conceptualised as a repository for feminist history of Tanzania, to show, tell and illustrate the role of women in the development of the country. The objective of Kestoria Kavazi is to mainstream women’s role in national development.
