Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
Does Tukutana utilize volunteers?
Yes! Please email info@tukutana.org to introduce yourself and learn about our volunteer opportunities, such as:
Sharing your skills (e.g., social media, photography, videography, communications, sports, medical care coordination, arts, discipleship).
Assisting our medical advocacy team.
Hosting or helping with a fundraising event.
Conducting a fundraising campaign.
Do you host short-term groups?
Thank you for your interest! Because our in-country staff and partners effectively carry out our work and maintain close relationships with local churches and communities, we rarely host short-term mission teams or groups. We do, though, warmly welcome conversations to consider group involvement that aligns with our core mission and values.
On occasion, we may have needs for highly qualified volunteers whose skills have been specifically requested by the host community and who can complement the work of our local teams.
Can I visit the project I sponsored?
While we truly appreciate your financial contribution, we are generally unable to host donors or guests at our project sites, which are located in remote, hard-to-reach, and often highly dangerous locations. Tukutana does, though, engage donors with personalized updates on the projects they support, allowing them to see the impact of their giving.
Does Tukutana help pay for health care and treatments through your Medical Advocacy Initiative?
We provide medical advocacy support and transportation assistance for children and their families. Our role is to help families communicate with hospitals, understand medical information, and assist with logistics. Tukutana does NOT pay for medical treatment, hospital bills, medications, or medical procedures.
