Funded projects
In 2022 we had a challenge, to promote our first business project, we had access to mentoring programs, but these did not respond to our needs until Tiina arrived. A program with high-level mentors that has allowed us to validate our business model, generate impact indicators and expand the network of alliances, without a doubt a unique opportunity for sustainable food projects.

The Tiina program has provided us with the accompaniment, training and boost that we needed as a team. It has allowed us to clearly focus on the impact objectives of our organization, develop a much more solid growth strategy under these premises, and also feel part of a community of social entrepreneurs in the world of culture.
