TERJA foundation is in honor of Teresa and Jackson Osundwa, both advocates of an equitable education especially that of the girl child. The idea of TERJA Foundation was first suggested in 2013 by one of Terry and Jack’s children, Lynette Injette Ochola, a development professional with over 20 years experience in international development. Together with her siblings, Katherine Muoki, Judith Skeele, Roseline Ingutia, Solomon Osundwa, Nancy Osundwa-Waldrup, Collins Osundwa and Oscar Osundwa and their families, a vision and mission statement was developed. This was the beginning of TERJA Foundation! Some of the activities TERJA has been involved in since inception include

1. Provision of sanitary pads, soap, food, and other items to more than 500 girls at Lubinu girls and Shitoto girls’ secondary schools in Kenya.
2. Mentoring and career guidance of secondary school students.
3. Supporting in the construction of the school hall at Lubinu Girls Secondary school
4. Supporting local church activities and construction of local church which also serves as a recreation center for young people in the community.
