At Tuendelee Foundation, we understand the impact that quality education can have on an individual, their life and their surrounding community. We provide scholarships, which cover tertiary (college/university) education tuition, exam fees, accommodation and upkeep for bright, underprivileged students who are unable to meet these costs. Our focus includes students from rural areas, urban slums, and the arid and semi-arid areas.
