Theory of Change

Nguzo Africa believes that “Community have power, resources, skills and people to take charge of their own development. Communities need empowerment, skills and connections to realise their potential.” When communities are informed and equipped with relevant knowledge, they get  empowered, organised and connected  to offer sustainable community-led solutions on pressing challenges that affect them.
