I am 49 years old, grew up in Tanzania, and I have been living in Italy for almost twenty years, working in the field of drug addiction as a social worker at Villa Maraini Foundation in Rome. My professional and personal journey inspired me to address the challenges faced by vulnerable communities in my country of origin (Tanzania). In 2023 I founded Ukorc Foundation (Utu Kwanza Orphanage and Rehabilitation Center), a non-profit humanitarian organization committed to supporting orphans and people struggling with addiction. Guided by the principles of dignity and care, we are now preparing to open our first rehabilitation center in Pangani, Tanzania, with the goal of offering hope, treatment, and opportunities for a better future.
