"I have had several opportunities to do small assignments with Oasis Mathare and MUYI through a series of organized consultancies and volunteers hours, I saw a great need to follow up to see this two great organizations meet and share their experiences for more sustainable impact in future - Wilson Masaka Wilsen initiative (WI) founder, Youth Advocate & Social Entrepreneur.
Sustainable partnership based on a win-win philosophy.
As Wilsen Initiative (WI) we would love to be the catalyst for connectivity between community base organizations and youth led initiative whereby leading and managing a process that will ensure win-win approach. We advocate for international collaboration, but also without forgetting strengthening our local ties in sharing resources and accelerating our impact based on the local knowledge which the international partners might not have.
The next visit is to see Mukuru Youth Initiative (MUYI) visit an Oasis in Mathare at the appropriate date. We wish them all the best moving forward with the conversation.
