Entrepreneurial Mindset
We co-create programmes to facilitate transformative mindsets from ‘job seeking’ to ‘start-up business’ in Africa. Tapping into Africa’s talented and resourceful population for common prosperity in rural-urban communities.
We do this by enabling people to identify and make the most of opportunities, overcome and learn from commercial setbacks, and succeed in a variety of trade settings in Africa.
We need entrepreneurs everywhere in Africa, remaining adaptable and resilient in conditions that are uncertain and complex. To achieve this, an entrepreneurial mindset must be in place as a catalyst.
Socio-Economic Impact
‘Pamoja’ means ‘collective’ or ‘togetherness’ in Swahili – this encapsulate Huruma Bantfu’s intention to strengthen the corporate philanthropy ecosystem by fostering great collaboration and strategic implementing partnerships amongst partners with similarities in programming, initiatives and resource mobilising needs and opportunities.
Huruma Bantfu seeks to bridge the gap between corporate philanthropy practitioners and implementing partners by convening a bi-monthly collaborative networking / knowledge-sharing sessions in which a corporate or an socio-economic impact implementing partners will spotlight their initiatives, programmes, fundraising needs and partnership frameworks.
Children’s Rights in Africa
Children across Africa face many interconnected abuses and barriers every day that infringe on the enjoyment of their inherent rights. Children need special protection because they are among the most vulnerable members of society. They are dependent on others - their parents and families, or the community- for care and protection.
The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child allude to childhood as a special, protected time, in which children must be allowed to grow, learn, play, develop and flourish with dignity. Hazi za Watoto curates programmes to bring the realisation of basic nutrition, shelter, basic health care services and social services as well as the protection from maltreatment, neglect, abuse or degradation for all children in Africa.
Mental Health in Africa
Perceptions of mental health are shaped by a mix of traditional beliefs, stigma, and limited access to mental health services in Africa. people living with mental health conditions face social isolation from their families and communities.
There are significant opportunities within African communities to promote mental well-being. Psychoeducation and destigmatization are key. One way to reduce mental health stigma is to increase people’s understanding of the brain and what it does when it is healthy.
Afya ya akili comes up with innovative ideas and promising solutions to solve mental health challenges in Africa through collaborative efforts sensitive to community psychosocial needs.
