Hello, I'm Justin H.

Hi! My name is Justin Hokororo, founder and chairman of Woven Connect, a local NGO based in Arusha, Tanzania specializing in empowering the community through technical skills. I was born and raised in Arusha but also have some travel experience abroad. I worked in Japan, South Africa, and Tanzania for over 10 years as a freelance ICT expert. In 2015 I joined Afrikan Wear Design, a local social enterprise started by my mother in 2009, and came to realize my calling for working with my hands. The journey has been fascinating so far to the point I switched careers and now I am fully committed to working with handlooms and woodwork tools, something that I truly enjoy. From the skills, I got over the years and with help from former volunteers and fellow staff at Afrikan Wear Design we were able to build The Woven House. A project financed by Afrikan Wear Design to provide accommodation and a unique experience to travelers. By staying with us you will be supporting our new NGO that aims to reach as many willing community members as possible. Thank you for reading a little about me.
