UWAKIKI (an abbreviation for Umoja wa wanawake wa kijiji cha Kitahya, which stands for Womengroup of the Village Kitahya) was founded and registered as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in 1996. It is situated in the northwest of Tanzania, close to Lake Victoria... The preschool is located in the Kitahya village. Kitahya and surrounding villages, where the pupils and members of UWAKIKI live, belong to Ward Nyakibimbili in the Kagera Region... Mainly initiated by housewives and mothers of the village Kitahya, UWAKIKI has already been active since 1986, when a growing number of HIV orphans, and old, sick and abandoned people could no longer live and function independently in the village.
