Together Knowledge Resources Joins

Founded by Theophile Kizungu in 2019 at Dzaleka Refugee Camp, TKRJ began as a small initiative to bring together the “knowledge resources” of refugees and host communities – skills, talents, gifts and experiences – and join them for God’s glory and sustainable livelihoods.

“Our knowledge is our resources joined together. When we develop it, it becomes a source of income and impact.”

Guided by 1 Corinthians 16:14, TKRJ is more than a development organisation – it is a Christian family. We preach the Gospel while feeding the hungry, training youth, supporting people with disabilities, and walking alongside widows, single mothers and vulnerable children.

Mission: Empowering communities to rise, develop skills, and live with dignity through Christ-centred love and service.

Vision: We inspire smarter empowerment for greater impact – where every vulnerable person discovers their God-given potential and contributes to a thriving, inclusive society.

Core values: Faith • Love • Service • Empowerment • Community development

We combine spiritual formation with practical empowerment through:

• The Living Holy Word of Jesus Christ Ministry (Bible studies, prayer, discipleship).
• Vocational training: carpentry, farming, tailoring, ICT.
• Carpentry Workshop (IAG) creating jobs and income.
• Humanitarian support: feeding programs, crisis relief, clothing and household support.
• Christian education & faith-based learning for children and adults.

Our programs also address social challenges and promote equality:

• Youth empowerment: awareness against drug abuse, crime & early pregnancy.
• Gender & women empowerment: entrepreneurship for widows, single mothers, and girls.
• Poverty reduction through small business start-ups & microfinance literacy.
• Community events: sports, music and cultural festivals building unity.
• Inclusion focus: persons with disabilities, orphans, widows, Albino people, refugees & hosts.

We also invest in partnerships and Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL).
