Jenga Jumuiya Information

Jenga Jumuiya is a United States-based non-profit organization focused on supporting education throughout the world. The name Jenga Jumuiya is derived from the Swahili: Jenga = To Build Jumuiya = Community As our name implies, Jenga Jumuiya is focused on community building –- creating community through the building of classrooms, the renovation of school buildings, and the sponsoring of students throughout the world. Not only do we erect physical structures, we also work to build strength, pride, and leadership in the populations we serve. Therefore our intent is to involve the local community in all aspects of our project so that they are not merely recipients of charity, but active participants in creating educational opportunities for their families and themselves. We work in close cooperation with the community leaders, school boards, and district councils of our focus areas to identify and create a “community” project plan, whereby the community works with us to provide a portion of funding, materials, and/or labor. We also support individual scholarships for students within our service areas, funding access to education from nursery through university levels. We are extremely proud of the work we have been able to accomplish these past few years thanks to the many generous donors and friends who have supported our endeavors, as well as the wonderful communities who have collaborated with us on these exciting projects. We hope to continue providing educational resources to children and their communities throughout the world for many years to come. Thank you for your interest and support of our programs.
