What Kutoa does
Youth for youth.
We build a school. We opened an Innovation Center. We sponsor Sifaeli through university. Advocates is how students anywhere walk that work.
The school · Central Uganda
Classrooms that last.
A two-story school with open corridors, being built in central Uganda with the community — not dropped in for a week.
The Innovation Center
A place to learn.
A learning space that did not exist before. Tables, light, and a door that says students belong here.
Sponsoring Sifaeli
One student. University.
Sifaeli is twenty, from the foothills of Kilimanjaro. He is studying accounting in Moshi, Tanzania — because Kutoa walked with him.
“[Kutoa] has completely changed my family’s bloodline.”
Sifaeli
On the earth
Mission sites. Chapter pins. A real map.
A letter from the Founder
To the next generation of Advocates,
When I founded Kutoa, I had no idea where it would take me. What started as a desire to help one person taught me this: you do not have to wait until you are older, more experienced, or more powerful to do something that matters.
That is why Kutoa Advocates exists. I want more young people to stop asking whether they’re old enough and simply start.
This is not another club for a résumé. It’s serving your community, raising money for something you believe in, sitting in a room with people who care as much as you do — and, as we grow beyond Cleveland, knowing an Advocate hundreds of miles away.
Join a chapter. Start one. Come to a meeting. Bring a friend. You don’t need an impressive title, or everything figured out. You just need to care enough to begin.
Kutoa has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. There is a lot left to build.
Come build it with us.
With hope and gratitude,
Nathan Carlson
Founder, Kutoa Foundation
