TUPO Foundation — slide 1

Rooted in Community.
Rising Together.

We walk alongside pastoralist women and youth to build resilient livelihoods, protect health, and preserve cultural identity — from the rangelands of Arusha to the global stage.

An Organisation Built by and for Rural Women

TUPO Foundation is a Tanzanian civil society organisation headquartered in Arusha. We are the national host of the Rural Women's Assembly (RWA) — Tanzania Chapter, coordinating grassroots women's rights and sustainable livelihoods programming across Arusha and Mbeya regions.

Our work sits at the intersection of pastoralism, agroecology, inclusive health, and youth empowerment — placing Maasai women and girls at the centre of every solution.
