UJENZI WA OFISI

Building MIHLGSO's first dedicated office on Mafia Island — a permanent home for our work and community.

Overview

MIHLGSO is building its own permanent office on Mafia Island. The building gives our Executive Committee, departments, and members a stable home — a place to meet, store records, host visitors, and run programs. It also signals to partners and donors that the organization is here for the long term.

Construction is progressing in phases as funds are raised, beginning with securing and surveying the plot and laying the foundation. A finished office reduces ongoing costs, keeps our records safe, and creates a reliable base from which to serve members across the island.

Who this helps

Every member, branch, and beneficiary of MIHLGSO benefits — and so do partners who come to Mafia to work with us.
