Simon Chamy is a Tanzanian youth empowerment advocate transforming how young people access opportunity, mentorship and career growth across the country. Through the Ufaulu Project, he has built one of Tanzania’s most impactful youth platforms, bringing together thousands of students through large-scale university and school summits focused on practical growth, leadership and opportunity creation.
What makes the Ufaulu Project stand out is its focus on action. Moving beyond traditional motivational speaking, Simon connects students directly to scholarships, international study opportunities, career pathways, entrepreneurship training and digital skills through partnerships with organizations such as UNDP, Yas Tanzania and other institutions.
Across universities and schools nationwide, Ufaulu Project events regularly bring together over a thousand students at a time, creating spaces where young people gain practical tools for the future, from investment and technology to leadership and career readiness. Through mentorship, access and opportunity, Simon Chamy is helping shape a generation of African youth prepared to compete and lead on a global stage. Africa shows up.
