Learn About Us

Worldwide non-profit charity organization

Our story is a unique story, one of the many untold stories of the underdeveloped regions of the Globe. It is a story of dreamers, a story of doers and a story of few game changers who have the will and passion to influence many towards responsible citizenship and sustainable livelihoods. Our name, Mzizi-Yethu (Our Roots), is a Swahili name which uniquely projects our broad perspective in seeking to address challenges stalling development in Africa at grassroots levels. Mzizi-Yethu Foundation is a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) founded on the premises of Sustainable Developmental Goals, more specifically SDG 04. The SDG 04 aims to “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. The central idea is of enhancing the innovativeness and employability of the youthful generation through promoting grassroots innovation, upskilling youths and assisting schools in underprivileged communities. Our belief is that right kind of knowledge is an illuminating light that beams through dull pathways of development for the poor and underprivileged population in lagging communities. We believe that so much can be improved if emphasis is placed on honing digital skills of youths towards formulating new business solutions and sustainable wealth creation initiatives that are supported by technology.
“To create a future where underprivileged communities in Africa have equitable access to quality education, innovative opportunities and knowledge resources that support sustainable development.”
“Our mission is to drive tangible development towards a purposeful existence through an impartial and non-profit making strategic action. We emphasize the cognitive well-being of individuals and we coin top-tier ideas for addressing socio-economic challenges, considering both immediate concerns and future trends. Through our efforts, we strive to transform education, empower individuals, and create a pathway for sustainable development and social change”
