Three Reasons to Invest in the

Mzuzah Mission

The proper social, economic and environmental preparation of the Next Generation of Leaders has never been more critical as it is now. The development sub-Saharan Africa and other communities around the world is closely linked to the wellbeing of its young people with more than one third of the total population aged 10 to 24, this large number of young people represents an opportunity to accelerate economic growth and reduce poverty in a sustainable way. Young people are experiencing a time of transition, full of physical, psychological, emotional and economic changes ae they leave childhood and enter adulthood. The decisions that are made during this period of life affect not only the individual wellbeing, but also the well-being of entire societies. Ensuring that young people can successfully navigate this phase of life and be inspired to think and live sustainably will help break the cycle of poverty and produce benefits for individuals, communities, nations and the environment at large.

Powered by critical support from our donors and a dedicated workforce—more than 90% volunteers—Mzuzah has the capacity to deliver sustainable change on a massive, unparalleled scale.

Help inspire and empower our nextgen leaders to think & live more sustainably by enabling us to give them the right tools & skills.

In response to the dire need to increase the demographics of Next Gen leaders who are equipped and prepared to lead their communities in a more sustainable way, build wealth in a way that recognizes the critical needs to preserve our communities and planet. With focused outreach to vulnerable Next Gen populations, Mzuzah’s core programs on sustainability thinking has reached several thousands of young leaders in more than eight countries and impacted 25 universities across Africa, the United States and Asia.

"We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” By Howard Zinn

Mzuzah has extended its volunteer service to orphanages and underserved communities by providing them with school supplies and school fees. In addition to this, some underserved groups were identified for medical and dental intervention programs where volunteers provide dental and basic fundamental medical interventions. In the last 3 years prior to Covid, Mzuzah was able to reach over seven orphanages in Ghana and Nigeria, as well as underserved communities in Baltimore, USA. Our goal is to expand this reach to cover orphanages across Africa, Mzuzah aims to be the go-to resource for their educational and medical wellbeing.
