Our founders

Richard and Samantha Muhunde are a husband and wife team that started the Tukole Foundation in 2018. The movement was started to continue the effort to improve the economic outlook of their community. Migrating from Uganda 15+ years ago, they realized that the United States was becoming their home. After having their first child in 2017 - it became apparent that the issues they were facing in their lives were similar to those shared by members of their community.

After one particular baby shower in Fort Worth, that featured many community members, the drive home was a realization that this was like deja-vu; we talk amongst friends with diverse backgrounds who took different career paths but all share the desire to grow wealth and do business together. However the next step rarely materialized - this is when TUKOLE - meaning Let’s do it - was born. To create a space to talk about business, share ideas on how to attain better quality education and find solutions to our common stress.

Samantha and Richard live in Fort Worth, TX with their two sons and are active members of the diaspora community in Texas and the United States.
