TCF is a registered, community-led organization founded in 2015, led by a dedicated local team committed to sustainable, grassroots impact across Turkana.
We work to improve the well-being of vulnerable children and families through education, child protection, health, and community empowerment ensuring every child, regardless of background, has access to quality opportunities.
Our governance includes a Board of Directors providing strategic oversight, a management team of program and project managers, trainers and field officers, and dedicated volunteers supporting day-to-day implementation.
To improve the well-being of vulnerable children, women, and youth by improving access to education, health services, protection, and economic opportunities.
A resilient and empowered community where every child has access to education, protection, and opportunity, building self-sustaining futures for generations to come.
Four interconnected pillars of impact, each designed to address the most pressing needs of Turkana’s communities.
Our Wings of Hope ECDE centre enrols 180–200 children annually, providing a strong foundation for future learning. The Back-to-School Campaign re-engages dropouts, particularly girls affected by early marriage, offering uniforms, learning materials, and tuition support. We also build and renovate school infrastructure to create safe, gender-sensitive, and disability-friendly environments.
Comprehensive programs covering sexual and reproductive health rights, HIV/AIDS awareness, drug and substance abuse prevention, mental health support, WASH, and maternal health. We run youth clubs, school programs, and dairy goat milk initiatives to improve household nutrition, empowering communities to make informed health decisions.
We safeguard children by promoting their rights and strengthening protective community systems, educating caregivers, empowering girls through mentorship to remain in school, and combating harmful practices such as early marriage through awareness campaigns and community engagement.
Over 300 young people and women benefit annually through vocational training in tailoring, computing, and entrepreneurship. Over 200 receive micro-loans to start or grow small businesses. Our revolving Dairy Goat Project improves both household nutrition and income, building lasting economic resilience.
"I believe every child deserves a chance — not just to survive, but to dream, to learn, and to succeed. Our work is about restoring hope, creating opportunity, and walking alongside communities as they build a better future for themselves."Samuel Litunya
Samuel Litunya grew up witnessing firsthand the realities of poverty, limited access to education, and the daily struggles faced by children and families in marginalized communities. These early experiences shaped his understanding of inequality and ignited a lifelong commitment to change.
Driven by a passion for community development and social justice, Samuel established TCF in 2015 with a vision of a Turkana where every child could access quality education, proper care, and the opportunity to thrive. What began as a small, community-driven initiative has grown into a transformative organization impacting hundreds of lives each year.
