Welcome to Chipua: Institute for Social Transformation, a grassroots non-government organisation (NGO) based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania!
Chipua seeks to advance the social development of underprivileged, at risk and vulnerable youth, especially girls, through a holistic program that focuses on technical, artistic, social and moral education. Participants are empowered to lead meaningful lives and become agents of positive social change in their community by:
Developing technical skills to assist them in becoming financially self-sufficient;
Reinforcing the positive character attributes necessary to boost their self-esteem and confidence through artistic expression and traditional curriculum; and
Learning appropriate fundamental moral attitudes to become responsible and contributing citizens of the global community.
Chipua has been in operation for four years with outstanding achievements, assisting dozens of disadvantaged youth in turning their lives around.
