German term or phrase: miteinander unterwegs sein
Dieser Begriff stammt aus einer Broschüre einer Hilfsorganisation in Ostafrika. Das scheint ihr Motto zu sein.
Kann mir jemand helfen, einen netten Ausdruck auf Englisch zu finden?
Danke!

Moving forward together
Explanation:
If you're "on your way" somewhere, you're moving forward. I think "Moving forward together" fits this context rather well, as it implies an idea of progress achieved through cooperation. It's also pretty neat and tidy, which you want in a motto or slogan.

Heading for our destination together


Explanation:
Here's a suggestion to start the ball rolling: "Heading for our destination together". I would have preferred "Reaching our destination together", but that doesn't really correspond to the German.
