A 501(c)(3) nonprofit empowering teenage girls in Tanzania to reach their full potential
The Mwezeshe Foundation
Mwezeshe Foundation is a philanthropic organization dedicated to providing teenage girls in Tanzania with the tools, resources and opportunities they need to realize their full potential and purpose. Through a range of holistic support we identify and amplify young women with big dreams, fostering a new generation of confident, educated and empowered African visionaries.
What is the Opportunity Gap?
The opportunity gap refers to disparities in access to resources and opportunities that are influenced by uncontrollable factors such as socioeconomic status, nationality, race, or gender. These systemic inequities can create significant barriers to success, making it challenging for individuals to compete on a level playing field.
Our Mission
Through education, mentorship, and a range of holistic support, we aim to close the opportunity gap and transform the trajectory of young lives on the cusp of adulthood. Our mission is to create a pipeline of young African women poised to lead with purpose, sparking a ripple effect of positive change within their communities and beyond. We are deeply invested in creating a future where a person’s gender or birthplace does not dictate their impact.
