Shoulder to shoulder The tagline for the The Rukwa Foundation is “Bega kwa Bega” which means “shoulder to shoulder” in Swahili. At the Rukwa Foundation, we believe the best developmental organizations recognize aid as a long-lasting partnership between the providers of financial capital and the providers of the human capital, expertise, and passion that creates sustainable results on the ground. As such, we are committed to getting to know our grantees by spending time with them and connecting at a personal level. To support this commitment, the executive team at the Rukwa Foundation intends to spend considerable time in the Rukwa region at the beginning of each grant writing season. In this effort, we intend to start small, learn from each project, and continue to nurture those organizations and initiatives that produce quantifiable improvements in outcomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623072360248-71ON884NC6X9VFMD3RY1/icon.png Who We Are - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623071903504-4X31O66JRD5CIF0UPCO9/Stove-project-by-Rukwa-Foundation Who We Are - Our story In 2009, a brilliant, and unassuming, Catholic Priest named Father Pontiano Chomba made a mission trip from his parish in Sumbawanga to a sponsoring parish in Chapel Hill, NC. On that trip, Fr. Chomba met a retired structural engineer, Ed Keane. At Fr. Chomba’s request, Ed started working on the problem of cooking fires in the homes of Fr. Chomba’s parishioners. Ed designed and eventually produced over 100 highly efficient cooking stoves in Sumbawanga as the Martian Stove Project. In 2018, Ed brought his family to visit Fr. Chomba in Sumbawanga and check on the Marian Stove project. This initial trip led to follow-up trips and a broadening of the family’s connection to the region. The Marian Stove project continues to grow and expand under the wider mission of the Rukwa Foundation. All that follows is a direct result of a chance encounter between two dedicated men willing to listen and respond when friendship required it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623075074310-S6D595HYRFN2KOSKJOLY/Education-and-Health-Charity-Tanzania Who We Are - Dr. Daniel Morrison Daniel Morrison, MD, FACS, is a practicing general surgeon and department chief at a busy urban community hospital.

Many of these projects are centered on empowering women. Any effort that saves time or reduces cost on a family budget inevitably yields improves the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623156091943-ZURUFPHNTGRK3DOJKCZ4/vtc-vocational-training-center-Tanzania What we do - Tools for Education Tanzania has a world-class educational system with rates of literacy and school adoption well above benchmarks. 80% of Tanzanian children attend Primary School and their youth literacy rate is 86% compared to an index of 65% for sub-Saharan Africa in general. However, the schools are chronically under-funded and suffer from poor infrastructure. Imagine trying to learn in a boarding school without beds or read at an evening study-hall without lights. The Rukwa Foundation sees basic infra-structure interventions in rural schools as the highest impact return for an outside organization. Bold young students who travel miles for an education and work extremely hard to learn in a foreign language should not have to worry about fundamentals like heat, light, and a place to lay their head. These things are not hard to fix and are an appropriate place to start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623159460339-042I62GQQ04VIKPEAJ0X/Rukwa-teachers-college-Rukwa-Tanzania What we do - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622035104270-WZF3NZUQ0GXRFKY0H48C/Artboard+11.jpg What we do https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622121479405-ZZDUQJCW0W7PRJOZEIP3/web-banner-10.jpg What we do https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623078712478-I97ADYAPO4ERQ0BU1TNH/Sewing+Stock+4.jpeg What we do https://rukwafoundation.com/home daily 1.0 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622118538386-CAXITZJHSWBANAKEGC09/IMG_3907%2Bfiltered.jpg Home - Katumba secondary school https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622118408608-SZV78TTB8V2AFSV4UKPK/IMG_3836.jpg Home - Katumba secondary school https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623066420297-8Q1ECX2OKSFZB6XRVTOF/Luci+Light+FIltered.jpg Home - working Shoulder To Shoulder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622035104270-WZF3NZUQ0GXRFKY0H48C/Artboard+11.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622045654926-7YDOMZV0A7Z980O3NQPJ/Sewing%2BStock%2B3.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622121479405-ZZDUQJCW0W7PRJOZEIP3/web-banner-10.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623240250694-64O6GATUMJY8E1JI16JJ/colour-04.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1623240331121-K1AN7XXN76KGOVRQML1S/colour-04.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60892f183112de1144b2735a/1622117968550-T0I9YRTHJEYK299KPRHF/Education+Stock.jpeg Home - Tools for Education We come alongside existing school administrators to determine what they need and connect them with willing donors to improve their educational outcomes.
