THE ITSO FOUNDATION
“Building Pathways of Oppertunity for Immigrant Families.”
Through bilingual workshops, mentorship programs, and academic partnerships, the ITSO Foundation equips immigrant and first-generation students and parents with the skills, knowledge, and resources to succeed in education and life.
About Us
The ITSO Foundation was founded by Alex Wambura and Ayon Barua to address a critical gap in education: immigrant families often face barriers - language, cultural, and informational - that make academic success challenging.As we relaunch ITSO, our focus is on building structured, measurable, and scalable programs that empower immigrant families to thrive academically and socially. By combining mentorship, family education, and community partnerships, ITSO creates a systematic framework for impact that can grow regionally and nationally.
