Tito Jackson was named the US Ambassador to Kenya for the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation (JOOF) and Honorary Citizen by Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga. His role is to create and develop projects and events to bring global awareness to the organisation and its initiatives in Kenya. According to entertainment website AltSounds, Tito was awarded the title on April 16, 2011 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, California. In his duties as Ambassador, Tito will serve as a national spokesman for JOOF and work in collaboration with Kenyan Ambassador Dr Wenwa Akinyi Oranga along with the JOOF Board of Directors. "I am incredibly honoured and humbled to be named JOOF Ambassador and Honorary Citizen of Kenya by Prime Minister Odinga," says Tito. 
"I look forward to tackling the important issues of health and education in this east African country. Kenya is battling a number of life-threatening diseases including HIV/Aids, which has always been an important cause for my family and me. Through a combination of education and resources, these health issues can be prevented. There is a lot of work to be done and I can't think of a better organisation than JOOF to spearhead the effort, so I am extremely proud and grateful to be a part of this lifesaving foundation."
Tito is also busy preparing his first solo album So Far So Good, which will be released in August.
