Meet our President;Thomas Zierk
“Introducing Thomas Zierk: Our Guiding Light and Devoted President. During a trip to Scotland, Thomas first connected with our founder, Genuine Jackson Mwasha. After witnessing the impactful work of The Roof of Africa SCIO, he invited Genuine to the USA to meet a network of potential supporters who were interested in our cause. It was then that the idea of establishing a US entity was born, driven by the supporters’ interest and the benefit of tax-exempt status. In response, Genuine asked Thomas to lead as President, to which he readily agreed. Thomas has been a driving force since their initial meeting, raising significant funds for The Roof of Africa SCIO and now The Roof of Africa USA Inc. His belief in and passion for our mission is unwavering. Bringing years of experience in nonprofit leadership and education, he continues to guide us in our quest to transform lives in Sub-Saharan Africa.”

There, he laid the foundation of the first school in Sonu, Tanzania, now flourishing with over 200 students. Recognizing the potential for widespread change and the need for more change-makers, Mwasha extended his mission to the USA, incorporating ‘The Roof of Africa USA Inc’.
