Twende Education Foundation

Twende means “let’s go” in Swahili - and that’s exactly what we are doing. The Twende Education Foundation is a student-led nonprofit born in Tanzania and rooted in a shared mission to create lasting change through education. Founded by seven students from Ivey Business School (Aidan, Adam, Hin, Julianna, Kosta, Nathan, and Sai) during a service-learning trip to Mwanza, we witnessed firsthand how limited access to education holds back bright, motivated youth. Twende was created to help break that barrier. We fund scholarships year over year, improve school infrastructure, support orphanages, and provide resources like school supplies and sports equipment - all to expand opportunity and empower students to build their futures.
