“Experience has taught 3rd world development workers that our job, really, is to listen. Once we understand what people need to help themselves, the way becomes clear. ”
WHAT WE DO
In late 2023 we narrowed our focus to the support of Tanzanian children in need, recognizing that the way out of poverty is through education. In a country where 51% of the population is under 18 years old, putting our efforts into developing the capabilities of youth makes sense.
Between 2005 and 2023 Pamoja Project offered a full spectrum of programs to mediate the effects of multi-dimensional poverty - a term developed by the United Nations to mean those who not only suffer from the lack of money, but also deficits in health, education, and opportunity.
