Our Core Values Are
Honesty | Accountability | Integrity | Respect

OUR MISSION

Uzima Women Relief Group International provides care and support to families affected by the effects of war and disease in Canada and internationally to contribute to the global efforts to relieve poverty and improve women’s health and education.

OUR VISION

We envision a world where womenunderstand their rights and haveaccess to quality health, education,and economic stability.

OBJECTIVES

  • To advance education and relieve poverty of Black (racialized) community members in the Toronto area by providing employment-related workshops and training on resume writing, job interview preparation, job skills training, mentoring programs, and job placement assistance.
  •  To relieve poverty and advance education in agricultural and farming techniques, and kitchen garden training to poor women in rural communities.

Uzima Women Relief Group International is a non-profit organization incorporated in 2012. Uzima is a Kiswahili word meaning wellness.


The organization works to alleviate poverty and augment wellness among at-risk populations facing health challenges brought about by lack of access to better economic opportunities.

Also, Uzima focuses on medical care and medicines, good nutrition and education for both women and men with a focus on women empowerment.

As a not-for-profit organization, we seek diverse voices in working to improve uzima. Although we are open to all racial groups, we especially encourage black, and people of color, and others currently less represented in our governance groups to consider joining us in these important leadership roles.
