The TaSCA Project

A Partnership Between Kasasa Community, Peace Africa, and the InterRoots Initiative

A cultural, economic, and educational initiative lead by the Kasasa community in collaboration with the Peace Africa Children’s Ensemble

In the Kyotera District of Uganda, the community of Kasasa has been cultivating a vision: The Tat Sat Community Academy, or the "TaSCA" project. The community’s dream is rooted in sustainable systems, and aims to inspire similar initiatives across East Africa.

The TaSCA project centers on a secondary school, which merges the arts, skill based training, and formal education. Coupled with the school will be a performing arts center for Ugandan traditional arts, which will engage the larger community in the preservation of common heritage. To sustain the project, the project is committed to the creation of a savings and credit cooperative organization, or "SACCO", which will engage in community financing, student/family financial support, and economic education. The SACCO will not only function to sustain the project, but will also spearhead development in the community at large.

This is for the community by the community - trust in us that we can do a lot for ourselves. - Ssalongo Kizza, Chairman of the Kasasa Community Board

The Kasasa community is partnering with the Peace Africa Children’s Ensemble - a Ugandan nonprofit with a proven track record and over 15 years of experience - and The InteRoots Initiative. InteRoots is the project’s partner and funding mechanism, which will provide incremental micro-grants to upstart the project. These grants will be reviewed collaboratively to ensure mutual accountability.

What is special about this project is that it is not only about [expanding access to] the Western system of education Uganda follows, but it is more importantly about nurturing the children in their traditions and making them aware of who they are and who they can become. Not all solutions are in western ideologies... many already exist in the local community. - Mustafa Beine, coordinator of the Kasasa Community Board
