Kuwasha (Kiswahili word meaning “to ignite”) is a student-driven community-based, participatory action research project that is aimed at stimulating rural development, capacity building, and poverty alleviation in Masurura village in Musoma, Tanzania. It is part of the international community service learning initiative of the UBC Centre for International Health. Our MissionTo use solar lighting projects as the initial foundation to develop and enable rural communities, as a means to collaborate to identify social, health and environmental needs and develop sustainable community-based solutions and ethical partnerships to alleviate poverty "There are those who enter the world in such poverty that they are deprived of both the means and the motivation to improve their circumstances. Unless they can be touched with the spark which ignites the spirit of individual enterprise and determination, they will only sink into apathy, degradation and despair. It is for us, who are more fortunate, to provide that spark." - His Highness the Aga Khan |
