About Us

Founded on March 29, 2022, in Provo, Utah, International Jumuiya was created with a vision to empower students through mentorship, leadership development, education, and community support. What began as a small vision has continued to grow into a movement dedicated to creating meaningful impact in Buffalo, New York, and beyond.

 

International Jumuiya is a nonprofit organization committed to providing critical resources effectively and efficiently because we believe in the power of opportunity, personal growth, and community transformation. Our mission is centered on developing students into confident leaders and changemakers by equipping them with mentorship, guidance, and valuable life skills that positively impact their communities.

 

This journey has been made possible through the dedication and passion of incredible individuals who share this vision. Leaders such as Dinah Kibwe, Daniel Begalwa, Osman Musse, and Chance Kibubuta have played an important role in helping International Jumuiya expand its reach and strengthen its impact.

 

Through mentorship programs, leadership initiatives, educational opportunities, and community partnerships, we strive to create environments where students feel empowered, supported, and inspired to pursue their goals. Our work goes beyond providing resources - we focus on building confidence, fostering leadership, and creating pathways for long-term success.

 

One of our signature initiatives is Jumuiya Talk, a platform designed to connect students with influential leaders, professionals, and changemakers from around the world. On May 26, 2023, we proudly welcomed our first speaker, Hayley Taylor Schlitz, whose inspiring story of resilience and achievement encouraged students to dream beyond limitations and pursue excellence.

 

As International Jumuiya continues to grow, our commitment remains the same: to invest in students, strengthen communities, and create opportunities that inspire lasting change across generations.

 

We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you are a student, supporter, volunteer, partner, or community leader, your involvement helps us continue building brighter futures and stronger communities together.
