About Mazima
Truth into Transformation. From urgent aid to empowered leadership, Mazima is the domino effect. We don’t just respond—we rebuild.
Who We Are
Mazima Development Network is a coalition of engineers, poets, planners, and donors—rooted in the Luganda word Mazima, meaning “truth.” We build inclusive development through dignity, urgency, and transformation.
- We speak dignity in code, in concrete, in community.
- We design infrastructure not as the final step—but as the final domino.
- We ignite chain reactions: one spark, one system, one shift.
Our Philosophy
We build signals, not just structures. Each health center, borehole, or vocational hub is a spark—designed to unlock trust, participation, and scalable systems.
- Trust builds participation
- Participation unlocks systems
- Systems scale impact
What begins as a borehole becomes a data network. What starts as a school fee becomes a generation of leaders.

Our Global Vision

Be the Next Domino
Every borehole, every school fee, every spark of dignity begins with someone who said yes. Join the movement. Fuel the transformation.
Mazima Commitments
We believe dignity begins with trust. Every donor, every partner, every community member deserves transparency, accountability, and ethical care.
- Use of Funds: Over 90% of donations go directly to program delivery. We prioritize local sourcing, modular efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
- Safeguarding & Ethics: We protect the dignity of every individual—especially children and vulnerable communities—through consent-based storytelling and secure data practices.
- Monitoring & Evaluation: Every borehole, every fee, every hub is tracked. We measure impact through livelihoods activated, systems maintained, and community feedback.
- Coalition Standards: Our partners are vetted for alignment with Mazima’s values: urgency, dignity, and transformation. We prioritize local leadership and inclusive design.
Mazima is not just a network—it’s a promise. A promise that every spark you fund becomes a system of hope.
