We believe that
Who we are
- A team of committed people who believe that change starts with ourselves. Because we work to empower the most marginalized in our community we ensure that we do not marginalize anyone in our office. Our team means everything to us and a third of our staff are facilitators of organizational learning and development, including the finance manager.
- We work as a catalyst for lasting social change by facilitating individuals, communities and systems through self-reflective processes to transformation. Media campaigns complement facilitative leadership development in addressing problems identified by communities themselves—from sexual violence and abuse to poor leadership.
- Since its founding, UZIKWASA’s focus has been deep rather than wide. Concentrating on a single district in Tanzania, we believe effective behavior change must reflect and draw on in-depth understandings of the entire social context to ensure relevance and [community] ownership.
Our Mission
UZIKWASA supports communities to take charge of their own development though participatory program approaches, promotion of gender justice, strengthening transformative leadership practices, and strategic partnerships for a transformed and self-aware society where mutual respect, gender and human rights prevail.
Our Learning Journey
- Our interventions are staying in Pangani District, but our learning isn’t.
- Our learning is a collective process with communities, collaborators, and stakeholders, generating new insights, sharing methodologies, and evolving programs to tackle emerging challenges and opportunities.
- Through collaboration and sharing grassroots innovations, UZIKWASA contributes to a growing movement for transformation, reaching more rural communities in Tanzania.
- Our approaches focus on reflective learning, bottom-up planning, collective implementation, and equality, empowering men and women to lead their development for a better future.
- This journey inspires us to embrace collective responsibility and the complexity of social issues to drive meaningful and sustainable change.
