CONNECT ·2022 Grants ChallengeEmpowering Refugees and Displaced Communities Starting Anew
Founded by refugees and women of color, for the places we live and the communities we serve. The Tiyya Foundation exists to provide economic and educational opportunities for families of refugees, immigrants, and indigenous communities. Through our work, we create a community that cultivates the fruits of self-sufficiency, ultimately helping our program participants overcome obstacles to actively participate in society. Our goal is to continue to provide sustainable support that benefits refugees long after initial government support ends.
