Who We Are
Peter J. Mwakyusa and his wife, Mary B. Dittu, founded Sombyo Financial Services Company Ltd with the goal of providing microloan services to entrepreneurs, individuals and public servants in Tanzania.

Peter holds an Advanced Diploma in Accountancy from the Tanzania Institute of Accountancy (TIA, 2010) and a Master of Science in Finance and Investment from the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA, 2024) — qualifications that have played a significant role in founding and managing the company.
