Our vision is a world where
communities thrive through
self-reliance, guided by their own
needs and rooted in their culture.
At Tupende, we promote peace in the Kivus by listening to, partnering with, and investing in local people. We invest based on demonstrated initiative and social mutuality, not just on “need.”
