- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I (Mwita) grew up inspired by my father’s journey, from a rural village in Tanzania to becoming an author and humanitarian leader. Seeing the impact of his work, I realized that storytelling has the power to change lives. Before college, I volunteered at City of Hope in Tanzania, where I saw firsthand how a single video could inspire action and mobilize support. That experience shaped my belief that film is one of the most powerful tools for creating empathy and driving change. I founded Mwendo (which means “to put in motion” in Swahili) to do exactly that—tell human stories that transcend physical and cultural boundaries. Over the years, our work has helped raise millions for humanitarian causes, been featured on CNN, PBS, Discovery+, and more, and, most importantly, made a difference in the lives of real people. Today, Mwendo continues to focus on high-impact storytelling, helping brands, nonprofits, and organizations connect with audiences in a meaningful way. Let’s create something powerful together!
