Kivulini History
Kivulini is a registered
non-governmental organization (NGO), founded in 1999 and based in Mwanza,
Tanzania.
The word
Kivulini, translated from Kiswahili, means “in the shade”. It implies a place of
safety, under a tree or otherwise shaded area, where people meet for discussion
and to offer each other support.
Kivulini is creating opportunities for
community members to come together to talk, organize and work to prevent gender
violence in order for women to enjoy their rights as stipulated by international
human rights conventions. The organization’s vision of creating violence free
communities is closely linked with women’s empowerment.
Kivulini was founded by Six women who
felt compelled to take action to prevent the violence happening in our community
. The founders believe that Violence destroys women's sense of self worth, tears
families apart, and has dire consequences on the health and well - being of
women. They strongly believe it is time for communities to unite, give voice to
women's priorities and take responsibility for the violence committed against
them!
