What we do

Umoja na Maendeleo Mashinani Organization connects people who share similar passions and empowers them to improve their livelihoods through implementation of development projects in conjunction with government agencies, donors, as well as likeminded persons & organizations. Our participatory approach to positively impact the communities’ wellbeing involves the following pathways.

Fundraising both in kind and monetary to generate resources which are in turn directed towards programs that add value to the community whilst ensuring efficiency, accountability, and transparency in the disbursement of these resources.

Providing professional counselling services to youths and young mothers. Our ‘Live Well Program’ in turn helps them manage difficult life problems such as low self-esteem, post-traumatic stress disorders, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.

‘Counselling for young people and adults can be a life-changing experience’

Engaging the youth through life skills development programs where they can acquire life skills, employability skills, build entrepreneurial capacities, extend mentorship and coaching support.

Encouraging communities to work together towards shared goals in bid to enhance socio economic capacities through organized workshops where the community including small scale entrepreneurs, women and youths converge to exchange ideas, show case their talents, network, and learn from mentors & coaches.

Small-scale businesses will also benefit from professionally operated group-based fund program.
