Planted in Britain · Rooted in Community
Our vision is simple. We want to become a pioneer organisation helping direct communities to support, resources and provoke debate and greater research in the field of British-Zimbabwean youth male development, parenting and family life in this country.
Our first efforts will focus on developing a directory of national and regional services and support information for both young people and parents.
Alongside this, MwanaMukomana will start to develop its early steps in becoming a research-focused organisation - placing the community and its needs in the development of its work.
