Strategy

Project Zawadi learns from and collaborates with Tanzanian communities, schools and teachers to design and deliver effective initiatives that are sustainable, replicable and culturally relevant.

Our Guiding Principles:

• Access to a quality education is a human right.
• A quality education addresses the needs of the whole child--physical, emotional, social and intellectual.
• Change takes time and requires a long-term commitment.
• Vulnerable children need the cultural and familial stability provided by their communities and schools.
• Designing effective community-owned programs requires attention to how gender, class, race, and historical legacies impact our work as well as respect for local knowledge, expertise, and culture.
