Our Roots Partners in Development Foundation (PIDF) was incorporated in 1997 with the goal of helping families and communities overcome difficult challenges that would make them, in turn, teachers and helpers of others in need. One of PIDFʻs first programs was its tuition-free traveling preschool, Tūtū and Me, established in 2001. PIDF recognized the role grandparents play in raising their grandchildren. To this day, Tūtū and Me continues to send teaching teams to underserved communities to help meet the developmental needs of children and their caregivers. PIDF continues to pursue innovative solutions to create healthy and resilient communities. Over the past twenty-three years, PIDF has developed a range of programs focused around education, social services, and environmental preservation. Timeline
