Our mission: to help Unite Scholars achieve success as active and engaged global citizens and to become agents for positive change. 

Through the Unite Scholars & Mentorship Program, Unite The World With Africa Foundation provides talented-yet-impoverished youth across Tanzania
access to quality education. The support of international advisors, mentors, and youth ambassadors helps to nurture their
creative and independent thinking abilities as well as personal and professional life skills. 

The Challenge:

Oftentimes when you ask a Unite Scholar what he or she would like to do with his or her life, the response will be the same:
“To become a doctor, pilot, or engineer.” 


This may be, in part, because the passion for medicine, aviation, and science are what drives them. But more often than not it is because these young people, most of whom come from remote and underresourced communities, know of nothing else to dream of.

This is where The Unite Passion Project comes in.

Our Project Goals:

  1. To expose the Unite Scholars to a wide array of career options, activities, and perspectives by sharing the stories of people who have found their passions.

  2. To showcase ways that various ideas and talents can be translated into meaningful, impactful, and rewarding work.

NOW IS THE TIME.

In this time of widespread turmoil, fear, and suffering, we can—and must—focus on what brings joy. We must share what feeds our spirits and ignites our minds, bodies, and souls. Because what opens minds and hearts will ultimately be what unites us as human beings.  

Together we can create a more compassionate, equitable, just, and balanced world. 

Contributors to The Unite Passion Project are invited to:

  1. Create a five to 10-minute video about a topic that excites them.
    Alternatively, they may share how they discovered their passion and journey to their current position.

  2. Include resources so that our Unite Scholars and teammates can research your topic further and learn more.
    (Ex. favorite books, authors, films, news outlets, websites, etc.)

Videos are received by invitation only.
