Means “the love to each and of every other” this foundation was formed by a group of youth residing in Mto wa Mbu village in the northern circuit of wildlife reserves and national parks. In this village there are about 120 tribes living here in harmonious way, however the Foundation is based in the history of the youth in the village, that due to their family backgrounds, they could not go further in any field instead they decide to stay behind and work in the tourism industry (curio shops). However some families wanted the best out of their children but the financial situations in these families hindered them to go further, then there is still a cry for standard life and a spirit of togetherness among the youth in Mto wa Mbu, then TUPENDANE foundation was born.
