About Us
Michezo kwa Maendeleo (MiMa) is a registered non-governmental organization based inZanzibar that uses the power of sports and purposeful play to
create opportunities for girls, women, and youth.
Founded by Fatma Said Ahmed, MiMa builds confidence, leadership, and community resilience by integrating sports, education, and health into one powerful movement for change. Since our beginnings (previously known as Sustainable Development for Humanity Organization – SDHO), we have grown into a vibrant community platform where girls and women discover their voices, challenge barriers, and take the lead in shaping their futures.
We are a non-government organization established in Zanzibar, Tanzania to develop a generation of qualified female leaders through sports and leadership programs that train, coach, mentor, and inspire adolescent girls in and out of school and university students.
Our Vision
A Zanzibar where every girl and woman has the confidence, resources, and opportunities to thrive, on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.
Our Mission
To use sports as a catalyst for empowerment, education, and equality, building a movement that champions the leadership and wellbeing of girls and women in Zanzibar.
