Fema magazine
Our signature Fema magazine has been published quarterly for 25 years in Tanzania. It has the largest print run in the country. It is a unique resource material that provides adolescents with credible information that is peer oriented.Over half a million copies of our Fema magazine are distributed each year to in and out-of-school Fema Clubs and partners.
Fema Club
Launched in 2002, there are 2,374* Fema Clubs in 40% of all government run secondary schools across Tanzania. A Fema club is a facilitation of youth coming together in safe, structured settings where youth can collectively read and discuss Fema magazine in an active learning environment. The Fema Clubs are embryos of civil society organizing, demonstrating and practicing critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, self-esteem, presentation and debating skills.
Ujana Salama
Ujana Salama which loosely translates to safe passage through youth, is Femina Hip’s approach to engaging out of school youth as Champions of Change. It focuses on training youth as Champions of Change, through building their skills as peer educators on economic empowerment and sexual reproductive health, and encourages them to contribute to community development.
Kijana Jitambue
Kijana Jitambue which loosely translates to ‘know yourself’, is Femina Hip’s approach to engaging in-school adolescent youth as peer educators. It focuses on building the skills of teachers to become mentors of youth. Youth are trained on sexual reproductive health and rights, economic empowerment and citizen engagement skills for independent decision-making.
Femina Family Values
We believe that young people can transform society when they develop a growth mindset where they value effort as a route to mastering new skills and competencies.
We are committed to ensuring diversity is respected. This includes the acknowledgement that men and women have different needs and challenges, as do people from different cultures, ethnicity, ideologies, etc
We understand that young people need a trusted source of accurate and reliable information. We build a culture of trust with our audience by ensuring that we remain relevant, credible and dependable.
We promote openness and inclusiveness by allowing all audiences and stakeholders to share ideas and participate through our initiatives. We remain leaders of ‘open talk’ which addresses some of the most sensitive and taboo topics.
Sincere commitment and dedication to the cause is instrumental for us to achieve our strategic goals. Committed staffs are willing to do more with less and dedicated stakeholders support us to reach our goals
We uphold our credibility by holding the organization and our staff to high standards in regard to accountability and transparency.
Above all else, we incorporate excitement and fun in all aspects of our work. We not only create entertaining products and activities for our audience, we have fun while doing it!
