Loss of a Beloved Colleague and Friend

Joseph Kimaro

We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of our dear colleague, Joseph Kimaro, due to a motorcycle accident.

Joseph led our Business and Agriculture programs for SHEFO (Shelter of Hope and Excellence Foundation) in Karansi, Tanzania. He has been a valuable leader and contributor to our work in Tanzania, focused on educating and empowering local business leaders and farmers. He’s been instrumental in our Women of Faith and many other programs through SHEFO and PEFA Church Karansi.

A celebration of Joseph’s life is being held today, July 29, 2024, in Karansi. His U.S. family will be gathering for a celebration of life service in the near future. We will share details as more information becomes available.

Joseph is survived by his wife and six children. Please keep his family and our SHEFO/Ubora staff in your prayers during this heartbreaking time.

To send messages of well wishes, stories or photos which we will be gathering for his celebration and family, please mail to: Info@uboratz.org.
