In Their Own Words
Hear from the children, women, and communities we’ve empowered
During the COVID-19 pandemic, life was incredibly hard. Thanks to Mwangaza Africa’s six-month tailoring program, I gained skills to make clothes and earn an income. Now, I can support my family and have hope for the future.

My son also benefited, he attended Mwangaza Africa’s Innovation School and has now completed Primary 7, moving on to secondary school.
Mwangaza Africa has empowered me with skills and ensured my son’s education. I am forever grateful!

Before Mwangaza Africa, I had never used a computer. Now, I can type, research, and create projects. These skills have given me confidence and hope for the future. I dream of becoming a software engineer, and I’m grateful for this opportunity!
