Mawazo Chaula

Orphans Africa Projects Manager

The founders of Orphans Africa first met Mawazo Chaula, whose name means “idea,” in 2007, when Mawazo was just twenty years old and still struggling to finish secondary school. Mawazo and his two younger siblings are orphans, and would not have survived had it not been for Mawazo’s determination to care for his family as well as to continue to attend school despite horrendous obstacles. From 2007 until now, OA has developed a deep bond of friendship and trust with Mawazo. Against incredible odds, he graduated from the University of Dar Es Salaam, and now works for Orphans Africa. Because of Mawazo’s life experiences, it is his passion to help his country’s orphans and to someday become a parliamentarian. For now, OA is happy to have Mawazo as the OA Manager in Tanzania, utilizing his skills in English, business management, problem-solving, and diplomacy to better the lives of orphans. Mawazo exhibits a wisdom far beyond his years and it is our joy to know him.
