Our Mission
The Ubuntu Leadership Program addresses the critical shortage of qualified labor in the Usambara region’s hospitality and related industries. The main problems to be solved are the limited economic opportunities for local youth and the growing trend of young people migrating to cities for work. By offering practical training, specialization, and coaching, the program aims to empower young people to become skilled professionals and entrepreneurs, encouraging them to stay and contribute to the local economy, thereby fostering sustainable community development.
Our Vision
Through empowering local youth with practical skills, specialized training, and coaching, the Ubuntu Leadership Program envisions a future where young people choose to stay and contribute to the Usambara region’s growth. By fostering skilled professionals and entrepreneurs in the hospitality and related industries, the program wants to reduce urban migration, strengthen the local economy, and create sustainable prosperity for the community.
