From Community Libraries to National Impact

Ustawi Impact is a national non-governmental organization registered under the Non-Governmental Organizations Act No. 24 of 2002, operating nationally across Tanzania.

The organization began in 2023 as Knowledge In Books, primarily focused on strengthening community libraries and promoting a culture of reading among children and youth. As community needs evolved and programs expanded to include economic empowerment and environmental sustainability, the organization officially transformed in 2025 into Ustawi Impact to reflect its broader mandate and long-term development vision.

Ustawi Impact was established in response to persistent challenges affecting children, youth, and communities in Tanzania — including limited access to quality education, restricted economic opportunities, and environmental degradation. Recognizing that these issues are interconnected, we implement integrated solutions that promote sustainable and inclusive development.
