To become a Sahwira of TTI
is to step into the rising.
— You Are Invited —
In Zimbabwean culture, a sahwira is more than a friend. A sahwira is a witness, a co-conspirator in joy and grief, a person who walks beside you through life's turning points. To become a Sahwira of TTI is to step into that role, not just as a donor, but as a companion to the rising. You don't need credentials. Just a willingness to walk with us. A hub for the movement of kinship. Sahwira is more than giving; it is standing together to create lasting impact.
— What Is a Sahwira?
A trusted friend
and ally who stands beside TTI.
Sahwira donors commit to ongoing partnership, guided by Ubuntu, the belief that "I am because we are." Together, Sahwira ensure that programs thrive and opportunities continue for those who need them most.
A relational frame for donors, partners, and supporters, this is not a transaction. It is a relationship. A circle. A shared lineage of those who invest in dignity, cultural strength, and ancestral continuity.
Walking alongside women in Zimbabwe who are re-writing generational stories
Investing in futures rooted in dignity, not dependence
Practicing a model of solidarity that honours local leadership
Becoming part of a living circle that stretches across time and geography
— Ways to Participate
You are welcome whether
you give monthly, amplify stories,
or offer your stands beside TTI.
Give
Make a one-time or monthly gift to grow the endowment or support current programs. Every gift is an act of accompaniment.
Share
Help spread the story of TTI. Share posts, host a conversation, or invite others into the circle.
Attend a virtual gathering, write a letter to a scholar, or join an update call with TTI’s team.
Connect
Remember
Include TTI in your legacy planning. Name a borehole, fund a scholarship, or leave a bequest that carries your name and values forward.
We could have called you
a donor. A champion. A supporter.
— Why This Language?
But in the languages of TTI’s founding, those words don’t hold the right kind of closeness.
To be a sahwira is to hold the work with us. To believe in our communities not just with money, but with memory.
This is a circle of care, commitment, and collective possibility. You are welcome whether you give monthly, amplify stories, or offer your quiet presence. This is a many-voiced circle.
