We Empower Youth

tuff.earth connects community sectors, organisations, and governments to help rebuild social integration, financial inclusion, and community cohesion in local, national, and global settings.

We Build Stronger Societies

We empower young people, vulnerable and disengaged communities including Black and Minority Ethnic and Refugee Communities, disabled people, ex-offenders, women in difficult circumstances, isolated and hard to reach elderly people in the most deprived areas. We do this through creative participation and empowerment through health and well-being projects, education in kindness and human values, social inclusion and tackling hatred, poverty and mental health issues.

We Create A Positive Pathway

The ultimate goal is to share kindness and facilitate the integration and empowerment of those people who do not have a voice, due to numerous challenges and obstacles they face in their daily lives.
