Background
TFA was incorporated on 10th august 2016 but started from a savings group Friend of Friends Uganda (FOFU) which started on 1st, March 2015 as we gathered to celebrate the success of our senior six results in Entebbe at Ambrose`s home, participants included Kagga Paul, Tusingwiire Ambrose, Bukenya David, Gibogi Wycliff and Agaba Brenda amongst which the idea of saving and investing for the future was discussed and arranged ourselves into different responsibilities under the leadership of Mr Kagga Paul, the number kept on growing and as well some members dropped during the process.
After some short time at the university we thought of how best we could help other youth out there to prepare for the future earlier, and decided to come up with an NGO (Together for Africa) cutting across different sectors of the nation i.e. agriculture, education, science and technology, medical among others to connect both the educated at any levels with those who aren’t to come together and put up the available resources to use in order to raise strong African youths.
