SahWira Africa aims to empower women through integrated approaches to education and consciousness raising, lobbying, advocacy, grassroots activism, campaigns, expression through arts, stories and poetry, networking opportunities that enable the building and sustaining of a global resource center.
In Africa, we seek to work with women to eradicate poverty and fight for women’s and girl’s rights.
Mission
SahWira organization aims to champion the building of sahwira friendship and sisterhood grounded in the spirit of Ubuntu/unhu/utu. Unhu/Ubuntu/ntu is the African concept that refers to the essence of being munhu/utu (human). This is the Sub-sahara African philosophy founded on the belief in collective personhood, that, one’s humanity is realized through sound relationships with others and those around us. In the spirit of Ubuntu/unhu SahWira Africa strives to nurture social responsibility, a cooperative spirit, solidarity, hospitality, devotion to family and the welfare of the community, good neighbourliness especially in view of the immigrants and asylum seekers. Diaspora Africans seek to work in collaboration with African countries to eradicate poverty and empower women.
