Shufaa Hame, a Tanzanian Mastercard Foundation Scholar at the American University of Beirut is keen to transform the education landscape in her country of origin through her two non-profit ventures – MSINGI-ELIMU and KITUO-SHULE.
Growing up in a single-parent household, Shufaa saw her mother continuously struggle to avail the necessary education opportunities for her. Now in a position of relative privilege and having been greatly influenced by the women who were a constant in her life, Shufaa envisions a Tanzania where education is no longer a luxury.
Tune in to hear her talk about the motivating factors for her transformative leadership journey, the challenges that come with founding a non-profit organization and the dream that she has for Tanzanian women especially when it comes to accessing education opportunities.
