About Us
Mulika Afrika was established in 2017 by a group of Tanzanian professionals who saw the challenges faced by the Maasai community, particularly in accessing quality education and basic services. Our organisation is dedicated to empowering women and girls in rural Maasai areas through education, training, and access to resources, while also promoting environmental conservation and poverty alleviation.
Community Services
Environmental Conservation
Understanding that the Masai community heavily depends on natural resources for their livelihoods, we work with community members to promote sustainable practices such as tree planting and water resource conservation.
Education
We believe education is a tool to empower the Maasai community, particularly young girls, to achieve their dreams in social, political, and economic spheres. We support education scholarships for Maasai girls from destitute families, provide mentorship training for girls, including life skills for self-awareness and employment, and support education infrastructures in public schools in Maasai Communities.
Empowering Women and Girls.
Mulika Afrika focuses on ending harmful traditional practices such as FGM and early marriages. We work tirelessly with local leaders and communities to raise awareness about the dangers of these practices and promote alternative rites of passage for girls. We empower girls through education and skills training, helping them avoid early marriages and pursue their dreams.
Healthcare
We strive to increase accessibility, uptake, and quality of healthcare services for rural Maasai communities in Tanzania, with a focus on sexual reproductive health (SRH) education and services.
Land Rights Advocacy
We support women and girls in their struggle for land possession. We educate both men and women on the rights of women to own and defend their land rights, and promote the inclusion of women in decision-making boards.
