Our founder

TSO was founded by Joseph, who started the organization to care for the land around Serengeti and for the children growing up on it.

    Community-led

    We work with women's groups, farmers and families. They decide with us what is planted and where.

    Local

    We are from Mugumu. We know the land, the seasons and the people.

    Long-term

    A tree takes years to grow, and so does a school. We plan for the long run.

Every gift goes directly to our work in Mugumu.
