Each of the programmes within the Ujamaa Centre are structural and organisation responses to key aspects of our reality. Since our inception in 1989 we have tried to respond responsibly to our context. The programmes each respond to a particular aspect of our socio-theological analysis; however, they also overlap with each other, creating an integrity and coherence across the programmes
This is a theology that focuses on gender related issues such as human sexuality, HIV & AIDS, gender violence, violence against children and issues arround LGBTI. In a highly patriarchal society and church where spaces for dialogue on such issues are scarce, Ujamaa seeks to invent such spaces for dialogues. Now and again Ujamaa is invited to read the Bible or even facilitate theological dialogues with groups whose primary focus is on these issues. These are church groups and other faith-based organizations.
