- supporter, Karatu, Tanzania

Karen and I met by chance, but that meeting grew into a beautiful friendship, and a connection with JSFoundation. As a teacher of English and crafts and a proud African woman, I love sharing my knowledge, creativity, traditions and everyday experiences. I especially enjoy being part of the women’s circles, women’s teachings and Women’s Day celebrations, where we can speak openly, learn and grow together.

I believe the best ideas come from listening to the people who know their communities and their realities best. For me, being part of JSFoundation is about sharing our experiences, learning from one another and turning that knowledge into something meaningful for our women and communities.

“As an African woman, it means a lot to me to share my knowledge and life experience with other women, while learning from each other and growing stronger together.”
