Our Co-Director and Founder @ShaniMangola (on far right in photo) is finishing up exams in his first year of law school in Tanzania. Bahati njema (good luck)! 💫 It will be a historic moment when he becomes the first Hadzabe attorney in TZ #Indigenous #Hadza #lawschool #Tanzania

Thank you for such a strong response @DorsaAmir. The harm of talking about Indigenous peoples as “wild humans” is very real. Thank you for being a friend to Olanakwe Community Fund 💜

Indigenous hunter-gatherers cannot maintain land rights without education and the ability to fight for their rights in the spaces where decisions are being made. Supporting educational empowerment IS supporting hunter-gatherer land rights & sovereignty. #GivingTuesday #Hadza

@DorsaAmir @1PencilProject Thanks so much @DorsaAmir. Your continued support means so much ✨

Just in time for the International Day of Indigenous Peoples, Hadzabe kids are back in school. Education is a right that many children around the world find hard to obtain. Support educational sovereignty #olanakwe #BacktoSchool2021 #Hadzabe #education #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Today, on the International Day of Indigenous Peoples, we invite you to think about the theme of this year’s Day: “Leaving no one behind: Indigenous peoples and the call for a new social contract.” Learn more about the Day here: un.org/en/observances… @UNHumanRights

Who ultimately should direct data decisions and benefit from open data? From an equity standpoint, I hope it’s the communities from whom that data is derived first. 3/3

Girls’ education around the world has been hit hard by lockdowns and school closures. We’re calling on #G7 leaders to support girls’ voices, leadership, safety, & education for a world that is greener, more inclusive and more prosperous ❤️ #BuildBackEqual
