    Description

    We are a Humanitarian organisation working alongside remote communities and local agents of change to facilitate sustainable development through operating in the field of Socially responsive design, Early Child Development and Women’s Empowerment .

    *What we do (Mission)
    We connect leaders to the people, practices, and tools they need for their communities to grow.

    *Why we are (Vision)
    A world in which local people are empowered to regrow their communities.

    This is a collaborative space creating a united vision. Karibu!


    Hello from our team! My name is Sara and let me tell you more about us!

    We are the founders of this organization, coming from different places of the world, but united around the same goal. Our chairman is a wonderful local Joseph who has many years of experience in working in preschool institutions and running the organization. After arriving in Tanzania, the rest of the team that works on program coordination and sustainability, realized that this is a home that we will have a hard time leaving!
    And so, Joseph, Qaim and I started to put down the roots.

    We envision a world in which all children are raised in conditions where they not only survive but thrive. As we build and develop this community, we are committed to learning openly. Join us as we explore what it means to operate in the context of emergency and harness the necessary optimism required to build a new world here!

    With experience in sustainable design and education systems, today we cooperate with communities across East Africa, training and offering help to over 5100 beneficiaries in only one year, as well as experience and team supervision to our volunteers in every project that inspires them to collective action!

    We can't wait to share more information about what we do and what we will do in the future. For more information about volunteering with us, please read further!
