One of the goals of this project is to create a culturally responsive community that works for all. Umoja is a Kiswahili word meaning “unity”. Providing our community with the critical resources needed to promote togetherness is a primary goal of the regional Alliance Project. Scaling the Umoja program to serve our community more broadly will be our next phase. Building on our existing local and regional partnerships, the Alliance Project will work to ensure access to education and to alleviate disparities among our underserved populations in our region. By fostering meaningful connections and engagement with community partners we can create positive lasting change.
