Philadelphia Ujima

 Welcome
 
 

 

You are probably asking, “What does Ujima mean”?

Ujima is the third of seven principles of Kwanzaa, a week-long celebration of African heritage and culture in the United States. It means, "collective work and responsibility; to build and maintain our community, while working with others to solve our problems". Philadelphia Ujima: Mind Spirit Body Health Collaborative does just that! We work with communities across Philadelphia, helping people develop and maintain healthy behaviors that will last a lifetime.

Philadelphia Ujima is funded by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women's Health.
