The Foundation ultimate goal is to use art for advocating positive social change while giving those in the creative sector an opportunity to develop their ideas. The Centre fosters those things that enrich the mind and delight the heart, those intangible but precious things that give meaning to a society and help create from it a civilization and a culture.

By December 2019, 60 artists and creatives have been supported and in turn worked and mentored more than 500 students and community members and made social advocacy installations in the community.

Next to Tafaria Castle, there is a little school called Kangawa Nursery School. Waithera and her friends school there, and they love being in school. But they don’t like the gapping slits on their classroom walls, lack of water in school, poor sanitation and lack of modern recreational amenities.

Tafaria, in line with its transformational goals set out to change all that by upgrading the school and making it a modern centre for excellence with modern classrooms, proper sanitation, learning materials and a recreational facility throughout their learning. The Foundation intends to use this as a centre for impacting progressive social and economic ideas to realize the desired outcomes for this village.

We have set out to change the school from its current state to the proposed one above.

Tafaria Foundation, in its effort to empower the community, runs community interactive sessions for knowledge sharing either in-school with students or sessions with community members at the Castle. Through this programme, external experts in relevant areas such as entrepreneurship, agriculture, health, creative arts etc get an opportunity to share their knowledge with the locals and to mentor them.

By December 2019, more than 2000 students and community members had participated in our outreach program while 15 students had received school fees support.
