Skilling and Livelihoods

Our goal at TIDE

It is to better the lives of communities we work with. Tied into our mission is to create pathways to prosperous livelihoods – especially for women and youth

Working with rural and peri-urban communities, we nurture skills, facilitate the creation of innovative enterprises-with a focus on green enterprises, and foster connections to vibrant employment opportunities.

Seeding diverse skillsets such as culinary arts and tailoring, our commitment extends to comprehensive training in digital expertise and entrepreneurship.

Mentoring and handholding our entrepreneurs is key. With a goal to increase incomes and provide financial stability, we help them launch new enterprises and elevate existing ones.

More than 40 organizations have partnered with us. Bringing sector specific unique knowledge and market linkages, they have helped create a supportive ecosystem for our first-time entrepreneurs.
