OUR STORY
From Loss to Legacy
From Grief to Action
The Tatissa Foundation was created in memory of Tatissa Zunguze, whose life and loss forever changed our family and inspired a commitment to help others.
Our experience taught us that suicide affects far more than one individual. It touches families, friends, workplaces, schools, and entire communities. It also taught us the importance of preparation, connection, and compassionate support.
Today, Tatissa’s legacy lives through our work to equip everyday people with suicide prevention skills, support those impacted by suicide loss, strengthen community partnerships, and help build communities where people know how to recognize when someone is struggling—and how to step in.
Turning Hope Into Action
Our work focuses on creating stronger, more connected communities through suicide prevention education, postvention support, peer connection, and community engagement.
