Dear Tumaini friends,

What a night. What a movement.

Truly, thank you for being part of the 2025 Tumaini Gala Hope for the Future and for standing with us in support of the Alumni Fund. Whether you joined us in person or gave from afar, your presence and generosity are already changing lives.
We’re still tallying the final figures, but early results are deeply encouraging, just over $150,000. Together, we’ve taken a bold step toward sending Tumaini’s high school graduates to vocational training, college and university — and toward unlocking a future filled with possibility.
Every gift, no matter the size, is part of this transformation. When one student is invested in, they rise — and so does their family, their village, and their future. This is the ripple effect of hope: Education lifts a life out of poverty and into purpose.
We celebrate what’s been accomplished — and we remain hopeful for what’s still ahead. The need continues, and so does the opportunity to be part of something extraordinary.
From all of us at Tumaini, thank you for believing in these students. Thank you for being part of their story.
With deep gratitude and anticipation,

With gratitude,

Chris Buege
Development Director
