Lalafofofo-Amka Sasa’s Vision & Mission
We build bridges between youth in the United States and Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Through long-term partnerships and collaboration, we are creating solutions together to help Tanzanians help themselves and create a better future for their country; while equipping American youth with the knowledge, experience and skills required to be global citizens. The aim is to contribute towards a more sustainable and positive world for our global youth.
Lalafofofo is a playful, colloquial Tanzanian-Swahili expression for "sleeping peacefully," and literally translated means to “sleep like a log.”
Theory of Change
Lalafofofo-Amka Sasa believes that access to education is the long-term key to improving the lives of rural Kilimanjaro children living in extreme poverty. By focusing our programming and limiting our scope to a specific geographic area, we are having a significant impact on more than a thousand lives in Tanzania.
