Human Traces Signs Valuable Project in Tanzania

Next-generation mutual aid platform İnsan İzi is bringing its Goodwill Village project—which it hopes will serve as a model for African peoples—to life in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Operating under the motto "leaving a mark in goodwill," İnsan İzi Humanitarian Aid Association, a next-generation mutual aid platform that extends assistance to the oppressed, orphans and those in need across Turkey, African countries and many other regions of the world, is preparing to launch a long-term project on the African continent. Based on the belief that lasting goodness will take root and flourish in the soil, İnsan İzi aims to create free and unique living spaces where local people can become self-sufficient through the "Goodwill Village" it will establish in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, located on the East African continent.

İnsan İzi Humanitarian Aid Association Chairman Umut Sarıkaya made the following remarks on the subject:

"We are the descendants of our ancestors who transformed Anatolia into a centre of learning and wisdom civilization on the foundation of love, goodness and mutual aid. It is in our nature to be pioneers of goodness with the qualities inscribed in our souls and culture, to guide the good, to leave a good mark. As İnsan İzi, we have set a new target to leave a good mark on the world. We want to infuse tomorrow's Africa with goodness from today. It is our dream to carry the African lands and sincere people who bear the traces of humanity's common ancestor to a level of development where they can become self-sufficient and help those in need around them, and to do our best for this purpose. For this reason, we say 'there is one more possibility' for Africa's future."

Sustain humanity so the state may endure

"To this end, we wished to establish the Goodwill Village first in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, as a result of our research and analysis. Through the Goodwill Village Project, we aim to promote sustainable and technology-based production culture and implement an innovative model that will initiate Africa's transformation. Our goal is to create an exemplary model that uses digital technologies in daily life and production processes, becomes self-sufficient, and opens new horizons for youth. Through the Goodwill Village, we aim to bring technological knowledge and resources to Africa, increase employment, strengthen production, and most importantly, nurture the leaders of the future while preserving local cultural values. As part of our Goodwill Village project, we will initially build an orphanage and work to nurture the future leaders who hold their values and roots dear. The community leaders of the 2050s will, God willing, begin to take root through these good-intentioned and sincere efforts. Equipped and conscious youth will build Africa's future and, from the place where ships once sailed from the harbours to exploit Africa, will wave their hands and recall the words of Şeyh Edebali: 'Sustain humanity so the state may endure.' We invite all friends to an information programme where we will share the details of our Goodwill Village project to lay the foundation of tomorrow's Africa together" he said.  

A smart village where African people can become self-sufficient

İnsan İzi Humanitarian Aid Association will announce the details of the Goodwill Village project to the public through an information programme it will hold on Saturday, 4 February 2023 at the Üsküdar Bağlarbaşı Congress and Culture Centre. İnsan İzi aims to touch the lives of hundreds of children, youth and families in Tanzania, particularly orphans. Through the Goodwill Village, which will include a school, orphanage, mosque, health clinic, guest house and workshops, as well as smart agriculture areas, İnsan İzi aims to improve the quality of life and education in Tanzania. Through the Goodwill Village, which will serve as an example of smart villages, İnsan İzi plans to create an ecosystem where youth, women and families will serve as examples initially in Tanzania and later in different regions of Africa.
