Access to Education in East Africa
Our NGO ensures education by offering free tuition and nutrition to vulnerable children in our preschools in Arusha. We work with schools and partners to provide tailored, age-appropriate, and language-specific learning, supporting their holistic development.
Through targeted capactiy-training in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, vocational skills, and leadership development, the program strengthens women’s capacity to support their families, have stable livelihoods and contribute actively to their community.
Capacity Building for Local Mamas
Support for Grassroot Communities
Education and impact happen within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure grassroot communities have the necessary support to preserve their tradition.
Community Gardens for Nutrition Programs
Permaculture program improves nutrition and healthy eating among students and the community by providing free school lunches and training on managing community farms. It promotes local, indigenous practices and enhances preschool catering, leading to better food standards and health outcomes.
News: Through Participatory Creation, we built Tanzania’s first Community-led Regeneration Center.
Dedicated to Women and Children of Ormame.
Built between Kilimanjaro and Meru, Ormame - Tanzania’s first Maasai Community Regeneration Centre - reclaims architecture as a tool for cultural resilience, ecological restoration, and the protection of women and girls.
Created by UMHO and the Engutukoiti community, it is a living, community-led model where indigenous knowledge, regenerative agriculture, and shared leadership empower Maasai people to heal, regenerate, and inspire communities across Tanzania.
