The Heart

The Heart





Twiga Foundation, Inc. believes family consciousness begins with an awareness that family is at the heart of our society. More proactive than reactive, this awareness helps us understand that we can maximize our lives and find life in our work when we are conscious of our families – including care giving, individual and family health, community health and safety, education, transportation, environmental concerns, housing, career development, mobility, civic responsibility and many other areas that intersect our lives.

Twiga is Swahili for Giraffe

Giraffes are gentle animals that are keenly aware of and protective of their young…

…at Twiga, we promote family consciousness at home, in the workplace and in the community.


Giraffes have the largest hearts of all land mammals…

…at Twiga,  we believe a giraffe symbolizes bringing your heart along with your head into challenging decision making.


Giraffes are the tallest animals in the world and exemplify great vision…

…at Twiga, we work to exemplify flexibility, innovation and vision.
