What is Tulisa’s aim?

The Tulisa Foundation was established in 2009 by a businessman and two doctors from Germany. Its aim is to provide practical help to children and young people in Africa and Latin America, regardless of their nationality, social background or religion, so that they can regain their health and lead a life worth living. In addition, the foundation pursues the aims of medical development cooperation and the promotion of public health.

“We cannot help everyone in Africa and Latin America, but every single child and young person whom we can help to regain their health and thus lead a dignified life makes the effort worthwhile.”

Why donate?

Tulisa supports initiatives for children and young people in need who, due to their physical, mental or emotional condition or their financial situation, are dependent on the help of others. Here, we primarily fund medical prevention and treatment, as well as necessary surgical operations. To this end, Tulisa can draw on a network of medical professionals, hospitals and social institutions in Africa and Latin America, who inform us of particularly critical cases of illness. By this we mean children and young people suffering from illnesses for which proper local treatment is unaffordable and who, as a result, cannot be treated at all or only inadequately.

Single mothers and their children are also included, as the family would often not survive without the mother’s efforts.

How does Tulisa work?

We identify potential candidates during our consultation hours at the Kibera Health Centre, or we receive referrals from medical colleagues, friends, acquaintances or other sources. Once the eligibility criteria have been checked, the relevant case is featured on the TULISA website. The listing details the individual’s social circumstances, their existing health problem, appropriate diagnostic and treatment options, and the expected costs.

You can find an overview of the individual cases we are currently supporting here.

In addition, we provide financial support for aid projects for children, such as the establishment of health posts to provide basic medical care in underserved areas. We also support local health promotion initiatives by funding, for example, vaccination and disease control programmes.

You will soon be able to follow the projects we are currently supporting.

How is Tulisa funded?

Tulisa is funded exclusively through donations.

What does Tulisa do to keep costs low?

Until further notice, we have decided that all the foundation’s administrative costs will be covered by the members of the foundation’s board. This enables us to guarantee that 100 per cent of all donations will benefit the children and young people affected in Africa and Latin America.

What does Tulisa do to keep donors informed in a transparent manner?

We will regularly publish updates on our activities here on the website. This is to ensure that all donors have the opportunity to find out how their money is being used. We will report on the projects and individual cases we support, how the funds are used, and the impact and successes of our work. This will allow you to track what has been done with your donations. In addition, we intend to publish our annual report here each year.
