The Disconnect Holding Bukoba Back

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever looked at Bukoba—the place we call home—and thought, “This isn’t how it’s supposed to be”?

Yeah. Me too.

Because here’s the truth: Bukoba is struggling.

👉 The jobs? Not enough.
👉 The opportunities? Few and far between.
👉 The people? Scattered—living all over Tanzania and across the world, disconnected from the very place that shaped them.

And the worst part?

We ALL feel it.
Every single one of us who loves Bukoba knows something’s missing.

Here’s What’s Really Happening

It’s not just the economy.
It’s not just the schools.
It’s not just the businesses closing their doors.

It’s the disconnect.

The connection we used to have with each other—with Bukoba’s people, its culture, its promise—feels broken.

Think about it:
Bukoba used to thrive because it had people who cared.
People who built businesses, worked the land, raised families, and made sure the community was stronger than the day before.

But now?

👉 The middle class—the engine of progress—is leaving.
👉 The young people—the future of Bukoba—are heading to Dar, Mwanza or overseas because they don’t see opportunities at home.
👉 And those of us who moved away? We want to help, but we’re not even sure HOW anymore.

Does that sound familiar?

The REAL Problem Nobody’s Talking About

Here’s the thing: The struggles Bukoba is facing today didn’t just happen overnight.

And it’s not just about money, either.
Throwing cash at a problem doesn’t fix it.

The REAL problem?

We’re not connected.

Think about it:

  • What if the people who love Bukoba had a way to work together?
  • What if we could pool our ideas, talents, and resources to make a real difference?
  • What if we could turn that disconnect into connection—and use it to rebuild Bukoba stronger than ever?
