About Tujenge Africa Foundation

Tujenge Africa Foundation is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates an education and leadership incubator focused primarily on Burundi and the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Its flagship program, the Tujenge Scholars Program, provides an intensive post-secondary preparatory curriculum that emphasizes liberal-arts learning, English and STEM foundations, and peacebuilding dialogue to prepare scholars for university study and civic leadership. The organization maintains an active web presence and publishes regular organizational reporting (including a 2024 annual report) and program materials; its U.S. EIN (81-0996813) matches public nonprofit records and the charity’s own filings and web disclosures. In recent years Tujenge has continued cohort-based programming, alumni networking, and partnerships to place graduates at universities and scholarship programs internationally.
