What really binds us together is the that we all arrived onto US soil with the promise of realizing the American dream; something we were told to expect if we worked hard and stayed out of trouble. We were conditioned to expect bigger returns in the US than back home because of access to better education, world class public services and general advancement. Most of us now see that that narrative is shifting; it is not easy to rise out of poverty to wealth in one generation; it is very difficult to be financially secure and own your own property or make substantial investments as an individual. The fruit of financial stability is rooted in cooperation over competition and Tukole hopes to be the bridge to help us recognize the potential to sustain local businesses opened by their fellow diaspora members by providing feedback to improve on goods and services.
We came up with many projects and ideas during the last TUKOLE business session and we believe in the power of community investment. We know that funding is always an issue but we are working on creating the plan then seeking funds based on the need. We are enrolling members to help create a better future for our children.
