The idea of TERJA Foundation was first suggested in 2013 by one of Terry and Jacks children, Lynette Injette Ochola, a development professional with over 20 years experience in international development.

In 2021 TERJA set up its global office in Houston, USA and an Africa office in Nairobi, Kenya. The global office was founded by Dr Judith Ashika Skeele.
