ABOUT US
We are a nonprofit organization in Tanzania with fully local staff living and working within their own communities.
Our work began in 2007 in the Northern region of Tanzania. Since then we have partnered with schools and communities to provide educational programs and life skills support for children and young adults.
With our Youth Livelihood Program, Wezesha Vijana Program, and Accelerated Learning Program, we are putting into practice our belief that youth are empowered through education.
Our programs are made possible through the relationships we build within the communities. Families and communities become engaged and value the power of education.
