Mapinduzi Unit is a group of people, women and men, Africans and Europeans, who have worked for years with and for initiatives, organizations and movements in Africa.

At the same time he aspires to capitalize on diverse experiences and make them accessible to others.
In all modesty we want to contribute to the fact that – in a rapidly changing and dizzy world – people in Africa are becoming actors of change instead of remaining helpless victims. Instead of seeing and using Africa as a projection surface for myths, prejudices and generalities, we want to identify, strengthen, make legible and visible its strengths, its creativity and its mostly human potential.

Peace makers or war makers?
Good reading and the adventure continues
