WHO WE ARE

This organization was born out of a need to provide a uniting forum for the many sons and daughters of Tooro (and friends and well-wishers of Tooro and Uganda in general) scattered in North America – to act as a catalyst for development and promotion of the greater Tooro region; and, build and maintain a spirit of community and togetherness through knowing and helping each other. TAA is a charitable organization, duly registered in the State of Maryland as Tooro American Association Inc.

 MISSION AND VISION

The mission of the Tooro American Association (TAA) is to galvanize an expansive Tooro Diaspora (and Friends of Tooro) of North America to strengthen our community ties through networking, empowerment, and supporting each other; support the development and charitable programs in the Tooro sub region; and to foster a cultural understanding and restoration of Tooro values and traditions – through education and support of Tooro’s cultural institutions and programs.

Our vision is to build and manage a transparent community-centered not-for-profit organization that serves as platform/conduit to empower our members with information and tools to improve their lives; embrace and celebrate Tooro culture and heritage; support development and education projects both here and back home in Tooro (and Uganda in general); and, form new and nurture old bonds amongst ourselves and with neighbors and friends.
