After the success of the programs in 2018 and 2019, The Sasamani Foundation and the University of Dar es Salaam partnered again to organize a virtual Women Leading Change program in 2021.
Emerging women leaders from East Africa are invited to join this comprehensive and locally relevant four-month program to unlock their individual leadership skills. Given the overwhelming evidence that funding women's initiatives in the developing world leads to longterm substantial gains in income and wellbeing,
The Sasamani Foundation and the University of Dar es Salaam strive together to empower women's leadership in East Africa. Because when women are empowered to lead, they can achieve transformative, positive change not only within family structures, but also within organizations and communities. The Women Leading Change program paves the way by supporting women to find their unique voices and solve the complex and systemic issues in East Africa.

We should think of establishing institutions that grow long beyond our time in this world. If men can do it, why not us? We can do better. We endure more hardship. We are more flexible. We should use those talents. In our community we are told to be second, in reality I think we are upfront in many areas. We need to be taught to aim much higher.
