Pamoja United

Pamoja is an organization that connects young people in the United States and other countries through online partnerships built around shared goals. Its name means “together” in Swahili, reflecting its focus on bringing students from different cultures, traditions, and experiences into contact. Pamoja’s programs support education and cross-cultural learning, while encouraging participants to shape their partnerships collaboratively.

Students can work together to support academic goals through scholarships for tuition, boarding, and school supplies. The partnerships also introduce participants to new cultures and ideas, helping them build friendships and broaden their perspectives. Pamoja offers a flexible, one-to-one partnership model in which participants decide their areas of focus and overarching goals.

The organization reports partnerships connecting the United States with Haiti, Uganda, and Rwanda, and says it aims to expand into additional regions. Its website invites individuals to start a partnership and provides a form for prospective participants, along with email and social media contact options.
