Foundation

to.org \ Foundation is a non-profit organization that creates, funds, and cross-pollinates with grassroots and large organizations, equalizing opportunity and collaborating to support the most vulnerable and heal the planet.

Climate change and climate-related conflict continue to drive involuntary migration at an unprecedented rate. Displaced people, among the world’s most vulnerable, are forced into refugee settlements lacking in critical infrastructure, resources, and pathways to opportunity. Most stay in settlements far longer than we might expect and we believe these spaces, with rapidly growing populations, should be recategorized as future cities. The culture of every city is driven by its people and their history, and so we collaborate with refugee-residents of these future cities in order to effectively enhance their long term welfare and outcomes, creating environments where they are empowered to thrive rather than set up to fail.

At to.org \ Foundation, we are committed to establishing spaces for people to regenerate, play, think, and create, such as the Bidi Bidi Performing Arts Centre, which launched in northern Uganda’s Bidi Bidi refugee settlement in December 2023. Our new initiative for 2024 is Regenerate Kakuma– an ambitious project around mental and physical wellbeing in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee settlement.
