Projects
TFA is dedicated to delivering cutting‑edge digital payment systems built on state‑of‑the‑art blockchain technology. These systems further strengthen global trade by enhancing the financial and transactional efficiencies between the Global South, Africa, and the rest of the world. Through this initiative, its technical partner, Smartware Innovations, TFA's blockchain platform provides unprecedented transparency in resource allocation, real‑time impact monitoring, and secure digital identities for beneficiaries. This technological backbone ensures that every intervention is data‑driven, accountable, and scalable, while safeguarding the privacy and dignity of community members.
Blockchain
TFA's food security initiatives employ a holistic approach to address hunger and malnutrition while building climate-resilient agricultural systems. The programme introduces drought-resistant crop varieties, water harvesting techniques, and sustainable farming practices that have increased crop yields by 40% in participating communities. Through the establishment of community seed banks and farmer cooperatives, TFA ensures food sovereignty while creating sustainable agricultural value chains that connect smallholder farmers to broader markets.
Food Security
TFA's innovative Clean Cookstove Programme addresses one of Africa's most pressing health and environmental challenges. Traditional cooking methods using open fires and inefficient stoves contribute significantly to indoor air pollution, deforestation, and carbon emissions. TFA's solution involves distributing high-efficient cookstoves that reduce fuel consumption by up to 60% and harmful emissions by 70%. The programme has already reached over 50,000 households across rural Nigeria, creating local manufacturing jobs and empowering women through micro-enterprise opportunities in stove distribution and maintenance.
Efficient Stoves
The foundation's healthcare initiative represents a comprehensive approach to improving health outcomes in underserved regions. By deploying mobile health clinics, telemedicine services, and training community health workers, TFA has improved healthcare access for over 200,000 people across remote areas of Nigeria. The programme focuses particularly on maternal and child health, reducing infant mortality rates by 30% in target communities through improved antenatal care and vaccination programmes.
Healthcare Access
Recognising the vulnerability of coastal communities to climate change, TFA has developed comprehensive climate resilience programmes focusing on ecosystem restoration and sustainable livelihoods. The foundation's Blue Economy initiative includes large-scale mangrove restoration projects that have replanted over 100,000 mangrove saplings, creating natural barriers against coastal erosion while enhancing marine biodiversity. Complementary sustainable aquaculture projects train local fishermen in environmentally friendly fishing practices, increasing yields while preserving marine ecosystems for future generations.
Climate Resilience
The foundation's pioneering waste-to-energy initiative represents a breakthrough in sustainable energy solutions. By implementing advanced biomass gasification systems, TFA converts agricultural residues and municipal waste into clean energy for cooking and electricity generation. Each installation processes approximately 5 tons of waste daily, generating enough electricity to power 500 households and thermal energy for community kitchens. This innovative approach not only addresses waste management challenges but also provides affordable, reliable energy to off-grid communities, creating a circular economy model that benefits both environment and local economies.
