How We Started

The history of The Chagai Foundation (TCF) is deeply intertwined with the personal journey of its founder, Chagai Muorwel. Born and raised in South Sudan, Chagai's upbringing was shaped by the rich tapestry of her family, a tight-knit group bound by a shared vision of creating a better future for their homeland. With a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of education, Chagai and her family embarked on a mission to uplift their community through The Chagai Foundation.

From its inception, TCF has been fueled by a singular purpose: to provide children in South Sudan with the tools and opportunities they need to build a brighter, more prosperous future. At the heart of this mission lies a commitment to empowering women and girls through education, recognizing it as a cornerstone for unlocking their full potential and fostering a better quality of life. Central to TCF's vision is the aspiration to raise awareness and combat the scourge of underage marriages, a pervasive challenge that impedes the progress and well-being of countless young girls across South Sudan. Driven by her own experiences and fueled by a relentless determination, Chagai endeavors to instill in girls and women the belief that they possess boundless potential, capable of achieving remarkable feats beyond the confines of war and societal norms.

Having endured her own share of hardships, Chagai's journey has imbued her with a profound sense of purpose: to alleviate the struggles faced by children in South Sudan and provide them with access to the transformative power of education. It is through these experiences that TCF has emerged as a beacon of hope, dedicated to eradicating barriers to education and nurturing the next generation of leaders.

With a rallying cry of "YOUR SUPPORT WILL CHANGE LIVES," TCF embodies the belief that better education leads to better jobs, which in turn translates to improved living standards for communities across South Sudan. Through unwavering dedication and a steadfast commitment to their mission, TCF continues to make strides in transforming lives and shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
