Our July Charity – Umoja UK
Excerpted from SEEK:
| The word Umoja means ‘unity’ in Swahili, and that spirit of togetherness lies at the heart of the organisation. Umoja’s vision is to see young Tanzanians and their communities thrive through education, enterprise, wellbeing and sustainable livelihoods. Through a holistic approach, the charity provides educational support, life-skills training, psychosocial care, sports programmes and opportunities for economic empowerment. […] There is exciting news from Umoja this year. Building on the success of its existing programmes, the organisation has launchd the Young Innovator Programme, designed to equip young entrepreneurs with the skills, mentoring and support they need to develop successful businesses. Through workshops, business training and one-to-one mentoring, Umoja is helping a new generation of young leaders turn ideas into opportunities. […] We aim to match each of our students with a sponsor whose contribution provides the financial support needed for their ongoing education. We are currently seeking sponsors for our bright and ambitious students. If you would like to find out more, please visit our website or contact me directly. Emma Wagner |
About Charity of the Month at St Mark’s
Charity of the Month was created as a way of coming together as a church community to raise money for good causes. The scheme provides ongoing support to certain organisations, and each year members of our congregation are also invited to suggest charities that they would like to promote.
