Founded in 2012, the Sasamani Foundation strives to improve gender equity in East Africa. Our initiatives increase access to education and employment opportunities for women and girls, empowering them to shape their own futures and cultivate positive change in their communities.
We envision a future in which all possibilities for women and girls in East Africa are equitable and attainable.
Our ethos of ‘with, not for’ means all Sasamani programs are designed in collaboration between a Tanzanian and U.S. Board of Directors and led by local staff in Bagamoyo and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
All Sasamani Foundation activities have a focus on building capacity and addressing attitudes toward women’s equity, so that women and girls have better choices and outcomes for their future.
