What We Do

REFLECTIVE LEADERSHIP
Reflective leadership is about learning to listen, self-reflect, balance power, empathy, work with the contribution of others and the ability to learn, unlearn and re-learn.

MERL & SHARING
Grounded in Pangani, we continuously learn from practice and research. We share grassroots experiences and insights with partners across Tanzania, scaling innovative reflective models without losing depth.

MULTEMEDIA COMMUNICATION
