Jioni ya Zamani was established in 2022 by a group of dedicated community leaders and cultural enthusiasts who recognized the urgent need to address the erosion of traditional values and cultural heritage among the youth in Tanzania. Driven by a shared passion for preserving the rich cultural tapestry of our communities, the founders came together to create a platform where the younger generation could learn from the wisdom and experiences of their elders.
