Tandika Revitalization Overview:

We are Tandika Revitalization Foundation, a movement committed to transforming communities through the economic empowerment of women.

In the heart of Mbiko, Uganda and its surrounding communities, we're providing the tools and support for women to start and sustain small businesses. Our conviction lies in the fact that women—the nurturers of society—can uplift entire communities, paving the way for sustainable development and breaking the cycle of poverty.

The Tandika Community Center

Our community center serves as a focal point for our operations. It will not simply be a meeting place; but also a hub for learning, progress monitoring, decision-making, and planning. We will host skill-development sessions and income-generating projects like farming and milk production. We have a sewing class beginning in October, 2026. It will also house the Tandika Community Clinic which will open in January, 2027. Our well also provides water for the surrounding villagers.

The Future

Sustainability 
Now that the community center is complete we are working on starting up sustainability projects to help cover monthly expenses such as utilities, maintenance, and worker salaries. 

We’ll start with two projects: Farming and milk production. We purchased 3 cows in August, 2026 and will start selling milk shortly. We plan to do some commercial farming on our land beginning in 2027.

Future Expansion
Our vision expands beyond current operations. We hope to further serve the community by establishing a small clinic to provide essential medical care. This will open in January, 2027. 

Donations contribute to a self-sustainable, prosperous future for the women of Mbiko and the surrounding communities.

Governance

All properties, including land and buildings used by the foundation, are solely owned by the Tandika Revitalization Foundation and governed by the Ugandan Board of Directors. This is to ensure the primary focus remains on the community development rather than individual gains. 

Our operations are sustained through contributions from cooperative members and generous donations from well-wishers across the globe. Tandika Revitalization Fund is a 501(c)(3) in the United States whose sole purpose is fundraising for Tandika in Uganda. These funds will be used for building projects, supplies for training, and seed money for sustainability projects.
