OUR STRUCTURE:

Founded by and for Ugandans, TYoFU is made up of Ugandan staff and international volunteers. We operate as an NGO and a social enterprise, increasing health and opportunities for the youth, community, and environment of Masuliita Sub County, Uganda and beyond.

WHAT WE DO:

TYoFU brings innovative, sustainable farming solutions to youth ages 15-35 through our Integrated Farming Hub (IFH). The IFH incorporates resilience design principles and practices so that the flora, fauna, and people of the area can thrive. Our model both cultivates nutritious food for the community while expanding the capacity of local youth to participate successfully in the agricultural sector.

OUR VISION:

We envision a world where every individual has access to nutritious food, clean water, and meaningful employment, and TYoFU acts as a model of regenerative agriculture and a center of excellence for youth empowerment, cultivating knowledge, sustainability, and opportunity across Uganda and beyond.
