Convinced that strategic partnerships founded on trust were essential for development in the most challenging international contexts, Dr. Ralph and Tara Leo founded True Sojourners with a prayer and a shoestring budget in 2008. Since that time, God has blessed the organization with substantial growth and influence that now reaches around the world.

​Ralph and Tara are the grateful parents of six children, two of whom are adopted from Ethiopia. Having lived and worked in over a dozen countries, they currently reside in Abu Dhabi, UAE with their family, where they have grown to love and cherish the local people and culture.
