Working with Communities
to Improve Environmental Health
The Right to Live and Work in a Healthy Environment
TIFO works with vulnerable mining and recycling communities to improve environmental health. We recognize the socio-economic realities in these communities; people need jobs, society needs heavy metals, and sustainable and equitable solutions require on meaningful community involvement. TIFO prioritizes collaboration with local leaders, governments, and NGOs to develop and implement solutions that mitigate health risks and promote responsible environmental practices.
How You Can Help
We envision a world where all communities have the knowledge and skills to protect future generations and maintain livelihoods. Join us in making that vision a reality.
