Nyakitonto Youth for Development Tanzania
Our offices are located along Lumumba road (town-kibirizi road) near Joy in the harvest in Kigoma-Ujiji Municipality. The organization implements projects and services in Health, Education, Economic, and Research, training, agriculture, climate change, clean energies and child protection in Lake and Central zone regions.
For 10 years since it was found, our sole focus has been to help young people succeed. Together with partners around the world, we’ve invested in ensuring that youth develop the leadership, technical, and life skills to earn a livelihood and to be self-reliant. Whether it’s landing a first job, growing a business, or driving social change, every young person deserves the opportunity to realize his or her full potential. Rooted in the belief of youth as problem-solvers, change-makers, and leaders, our initiatives are catalysts for change. We make youths feel not abandoned by the system of employment as we give them potential skills not only for working but also for job creation.
Consequently, young people are prepared to enter the workforce, create their own opportunities, and be agents of change in their communities.
