How your donation helps - a Mother's Story...
Naseriani, a mother of five, expresses profound gratitude for Umoja's transformative impact on her daughters, Eliamani and Glory. In her own words, "Without Umoja, Eliamani might have faced a different fate – on the streets or a teenage bride with children. Our family struggled, selling sugarcane for a living and providing for basic needs was a challenge."
Before Umoja, Glory and then Eliamani had to drop out of school to ease the family's financial burden. Both sisters then stayed at home, focusing on domestic chores.
The turning point came when Eliamani joined Umoja in 2016, inspiring Glory to follow suit in 2018. Eliamani's dedication led her to achieve her educational goals at Tanzania Public Service College in 2023. She now proudly works as an accountant and loan officer and actively supports her family and siblings.
Help us help other families in need.
