Juma's World is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the generational cycle of extreme poverty among children in rural communities of Tanzania. Registered under Business Number 134604313RR0001, the organization focuses on addressing critical needs such as unsafe living conditions, lack of access to secondary education, and vulnerability to violence faced by the majority of children in these areas.

Mission and Activities

Juma's World works directly within vulnerable Tanzanian communities to provide children with essential resources and opportunities that pave the way to a better future. Their projects include building homes and educational facilities, as well as providing access to fresh water. The organization also promotes cross-cultural volunteer exchange programs that aim to broaden the perspectives of participating youth and foster meaningful personal transformations.

Background and Inspiration

The organization is inspired by the story of Juma, a Tanzanian orphan helped by the founders of Juma’s World. Once struggling with poverty and hopelessness, Juma now attends university studying business administration. Through the organization’s support—such as housing and education—Juma gained a renewed sense of self-worth and potential, embodying the transformative power the nonprofit seeks to extend to other children in need. Juma aspires to lead and support future generations, illustrating the effective impact of the organization’s mission.
