OUR
PROGRAMS
Education
Through different efforts, we want to touch different communities and empower them as we learn and grow. We don’t stop learning about each other and continue to adapt as our communities’ necessities change. We have broken our planning into 4 main themes: Education; Entrepreneurship, Employment and Personal Finance; Access to Information Technology; and Health and Wellness
Each one teach one. Through education we believe that we can create the biggest impact in the communities we serve. Education to us, is a key step to a better society
Tutoring
We aim to tutor primary school school students in rural areas, assisting them with the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematical principles.
In addition, we seek to tutor secondary school students online or face to face to help them improve their grades which we believe will lead to more bursary opportunities.
You can become a tutor or give to the cause!
Access To Education
We seek to supplement schools to assist in delivering education services by donating school equipment and infrastructure such as desks and chalk boards.
We also seek to assist students to keep them in school for longer by donating items such as school uniforms and books to enable students on their educational journey.
Scholarships And Bursaries
Through information sharing, we believe that we can enable access to bursary and scholarship information and connect students with institutions to enable them to access funds to study further.
We can assist with the university registration process and approaching universities on behalf of students to determine favourable terms that allow the student to study. If you would like to donate for tuition fees, we are here to chat!

This includes distributing information on identified solutions to relevant businesses, farmers, schools and communities in easily digestible formats.
We aim to partner with hardware and software technology providers to facilitate implementation of identified solutions.
Our Health And Wellness Programs
Nourishing the body allows the mind to work at its best. We believe in the benefits of promoting health and wellness for participants of all ages. We prioritise the upliftment of a healthy lifestyle and go further to provide mental and physical health assistance to participants- including athletes seeking professional sports careers.
A healthy mind and body lead to even better opportunities for the future. Let’s work towards health.
As an organization, Mwana Mboka aims to provide resources and information on healthy eating habits and nutrition through participation in social health events as well as our own educational initiatives.
The more we speak about it, the more we can tackle it. Let’s get the work in.
Mental health is not widely spoken about in African communities in general. We want to change the stigma and replace the silence with voices that speak to ensure we tackle the issues. Partnerships with health care professionals will allow us to create impact one person at a time.
We will also work with young athletes to ensure that they can participate fully in their passion. We’ll help to identify scholarships, help to pay for club fees and help them to work with trainers who can help them improve their performance.
