Asali’s vision is a world in which every child is happy, healthy, and enriched, thanks in part to the successful programs run by local leaders operating grassroots organizations within their own communities.
Our Story
Bridging the gap between grassroots organizations and the resources they need to succeed
Sitting on a dock in Maine one afternoon in September, six friends discussed their international development work and shared passion for working with children. Throughout their travels they had come across grassroots organizations with admirable missions, but limited access to resources. It became clear that the best way to truly improve children’s lives is to support these community groups. Thus, Asali was born.
In Swahili, the national language of Tanzania, “asali” means honey. Like honey, a happy childhood is the sweet stuff that supports a healthy community. Let’s make some honey!
