Sintamawa Development And Research

Sintamawa comes from the local dialect "Kusintha Kwa Mawa" meaning change for tomorrow. Based on this phrase, we aim to ensure the sustainability of induced future social change by building capacities of community organizations and members. Through our research, we aim to influence government policies to achieve sustainable poverty reduction, especially among the vulnerable members of society. Under the livelihoods enhancement programme we are currently working on 4 (four) projects. 1) The women empowerment initiative. 2) The Corporation engagement project - Here we are engaging big corporations in communities to enhance their commitment towards poverty reduction in the areas where they operate. 3) The School children's needs identification research project aims at identifying the real needs of pupils in examination classes with the objective to influence policies towards the identified needs. 4) The Agricultural resilience building project- aimed at contributing to resilience to climate change among smallholder farmers through the adoption of climate-resilient crops in rural areas.
