about us

OUR ORIGIN

WHO WE ARE

We seek to create a world where children and young adults experience holistic growth and development because they have access to quality education, mentorship and training opportunities regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds.


Meet our Team


WHO WE ARE

The Shima Foundation prioritizes making empowerment opportunities accessible to children and young adults through providing education, mentorship and training opportunities and working with partners to provide exposure on a global scale. We believe that every child should readily access quality education, mentorship and training opportunities regardless of their geographical location, social status or economic background.

Our work addresses significant inequalities in society that limit the potential of a growing majority of young people, particularly women, to access the tools and training they need to achieve their highest potential. Through formal and informal education and mentorship, we utilize experiential methods to ensure holistic development of young women and men get the best shot at achieving their potential while enabling them to address challenges facing society including unemployment, sexual and gender-based violence, poor access to quality education, environmental degradation as well as stigma faced by people living with disabilities in society.
