What TCP Foundation does

TCP Foundation, formally Transform Community Project, is a community-based non-profit organization founded in 2012 in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya, by Diana Lukosi after personal hardship. It serves vulnerable children, youth, women, and families through a portfolio of social programs: an Education Support Program (school fees, learning materials, mentorship), a Digital Inclusion and ICT Training Program that distributes laptops and digital learning tools, a Vocational and Technical Training Program (TVET-based), an Environmental Conservation Program (tree planting and climate awareness), and a Family and Community Empowerment Program supporting widows and single mothers.

Its underlying technology stack is essentially absent as a build effort: TCP does not develop proprietary software and positions itself as a community-based organization focused on social programs. Its technology footprint consists of consumer-grade laptops, digital learning tools, and ICT skills training delivered to beneficiaries rather than internally engineered platforms. Service delivery is conducted directly through grassroots community outreach, school partnerships, and collaboration with local leaders in Trans Nzoia and Bungoma counties.

The revenue model is donation- and grant-based. TCP relies on contributions from individuals and well-wishers, and on funding partnerships with international donors and development agencies, most notably the UNDP Small Grants Programme (climate-resilient water access) and TRANSWASCO (solarized water systems). All programs are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. The team is small, with approximately three named members led by Founder & Chairperson Diana Lukosi, and the organization operates from Sabata, Kahawa Benways Farm in Kitale, Kenya.
