It's Not About Disabilities,
It's About Unveiling Potential
Young girls with disabilities often encounter significant challenges that can hinder their future prospects. Founded in 2018, the Tulonga Foundation is driven by the belief that every girl, regardless of her circumstances, deserves the opportunity to thrive. We are dedicated to fostering inclusive education by empowering girls with disabilities through mentorship programs that provide guidance and support.
Vision
