Great & Late Umoja:
Poverty is a mindset and the way to overcome it is through working together as one people with one goal. Focus on what you already have, learn how to make yourself useful, and be of service to your tribe. By doing this you help lift everyone involved out of poverty (even yourself). Umoja is about learning to fit into your community or tribe in a way that benefits everyone, including yourself. By learning to make ourselves useful, and being of service to our Tribe we help lift everyone involved out of poverty. But this requires a change in thinking . It requires that we learn that we have already been provided everything we truly need - all we need to do is adjust our way of thinking and work together as one people with one goal . We can overcome anything that comes our way if we are willing to work together as one united community!
At its core, Umoja is a mindset. We believe that every person has resources and skills that they can use to benefit their community, and that this is the key to overcoming poverty.
