The work of TCDF can be divided in two branches: Social and Educational. Next to that there is a Supporting Roots Program.

Educational Branch
In the Educational branch international volunteers reach out to ALL local children, with the aim to increase understanding and awareness. These projects are in cooperation with local people and authorities.
Supporting Roots program
The Supporting Roots program aims to increase the sustainability and independence of TCDF through projects by ambassadors, volunteers and friends of the foundation, local as well as international.
