The foundation aims to support musicians and artists in the Bagamoyo region of Tanzania. The organisation is founded in memory of the late Dr Hukwe Zawose - Tanzania's foremost master of traditional Wagogo music. Following Zawose's death the family and their musical heritage have been threatened by both poverty and disease - highlighting the risk that artists face when they are unable to diversify their incomes.

The foundation provides financial and educational assistance in order to shape a better future for traditional musicians whose music and livelihoods are at risk.

The foundation is non-profit and 100% of donations cover the projects and the costs listed.
