Connecting Your Heart
with Their Need
What We Do
The Turo Foundation is a family foundation that helps people and their communities become empowered to better themselves and their world.
We provide funds and other resources to local non-profits that are doing important work in many communities around the globe. We have been able to assist forgotten communities, like Kuande, in Benin Africa.
From saving and distributing excess medical supplies, to providing funds for educational institutions, to nurturing libraries and local charities, to placing wells in Kuande to provide clean potable water.
We not only help with direct financial support but also partner with local leaders to maximize the power of the monetary reach.
With practically no administrative costs, every donation dollar received is applied directly to the completion of projects for maximum community impact.

Recent Project: Clean Water for Kuande
The need for fresh, clean water continues to be at the forefront of our efforts, even as the world struggles to manage the most significant health crisis in history.
In Kuande, where resources are sparse the people live a totally hunter, gatherer existence. They rely on the local creek for water even though is polluted and unhealthy. We are working to bring clean water to the forgotten communities in Kuande by placing and/or repairing wells in each remote village.
Our Kuande well project is now complete with over twenty wells dug or refurbished covering the entire tribal area of Kuande and impacting over 30000 inhabitants who now have clean, potable water. Pictured is the distant river water previously utilized by the community (left) and the water pulled from the new ground-water well located within their village (right). The villagers now have close and reliable access to water and reduced exposure to disease caused by water borne pathogens in the river water.
