Elizabeth Maginga Thobias

Elizabeth founded WeCare Foundation in 2022 after witnessing firsthand the developmental gaps facing Tanzania's youngest children. With a deep commitment to community-led change, she has built WeCare from the ground up — creating programs that reach over 5,000 families across Mbeya and Mara.

Her approach centres on parent empowerment, community trust, and innovative solutions tailored to Tanzania's unique context.
