Deeply inspired by Mtandao/ASWDNet’s mission

Dear ASWDNet Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Hilda Ngaja a social worker based in Tanzania. I recently came across the African Social Work and Development Network (ASWDNet) and was deeply inspired by its mission to create, aggregate, and disseminate African knowledges and to promote social work and development rooted in our values, languages, and lived realities.

As a social worker I strongly resonate with your emphasis on African epistemologies and values such as Ubuntu. I am especially drawn to your commitment to building emancipatory knowledge spaces for social work professionals, students, academics, and communities across the continent.

With this in mind, I would be honoured to join ASWDNet as a member and contribute to its efforts in advancing socially relevant and culturally grounded practice and scholarship in Africa.

Kindly receive the details required

Hilda Ngaja, Bachelor Degree in Social work

Referee, Dr Leah Omari, Lecturer, The Institute of Social Work

Thank you for your important work, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Inspired by Mtandao mission and goals (Bikila Tesfaye, Mtandao member number 143)

I am from the Gambella region, specifically Gambela City in Ethiopia. I joined ASWDNet after searching for membership related to my academic and professional background and was inspired by your mission and goals. I envision collaborating through knowledge and skill sharing, as well as joint initiatives that address common challenges in our communities. I recommend enhancing research, training programmes, and networking opportunities. See my interview here.
