Who We Are
Our Values Drive Our Mission.
SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT A CHOICE.
It is a way of doing business which can no longer be ignored. Therefore, we have to prepare young people adequately to maintain sustainable development.
WE OWN THE IMPACT.
We are committed to delivering sustainable results and recognize learning and growth, as well as community collaboration, are at the heart of the work we’re doing.
EDUCATION CHANGES THE WORLD.
Education equips children to make positive changes in their homes, communities, and the world.
WHAT MAKES NEEMA DIFFERENT
Large scale international-aid organizations tend to invest in top-down, macro-blanket-solutions that focus on the quantity of individuals served, instead of the quality or relevance of the services being delivered. Tremendous amounts of time, energy and money have been wasted on ineffective solutions that in the long run have further hindered the communities they were trying to help.
Instead of being a voice for the voiceless, hand them the microphone.
Our Unique Approach in Uru
Neema International works to stop the cycle of poverty before it begins, by investing in the lives of children as young as six months old and supporting them all the way through the completion of their university years.
Through a multi-lateral holistic approach, we ensure these children are supported from all angles including safety and security, a quality education, positive adult-child relationships, and adequate health and nutrition.
We further extend this level of support to our students’ caregivers and the community in which our students live, by investing in infrastructure projects, human capital development, parenting support classes, and the creation of local jobs.
Where We Started
We are advocates, partners, teachers, and parents who believe in the transformative powers of love and education.
