How it Began: Early in 2007 Robert Workman formed Tifie Humanitarian, an organization committed to Teaching Individuals and Families Independence through Enterprise. Workman collaborated with a group from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to form a team to help Tifie Humanitarian offer the resources, assistance, and training required to help others around the world provide for themselves and their families.

Tifie believes that as we help individuals form jobs in their own areas, we ensure a brighter future by eradicating poverty and creating thriving trade and commerce. We also believe in lifting up the human spirit by supporting institutions such as orphanages, renovating and building schools, sponsoring youth activities, and encouraging other programs designed to strengthen the family and the community.

Tifie Humanitarian is dedicated to the highest standards of business ethics in all our dealings, and we expect the same from those with whom we work. We provide business partners with the highest level of expertise, make commitments with care, and live up to those commitments by taking smart risks to help our enterprises develop, which in turn enables them to spread progress in their own communities. This approach sets us apart from most institutions as we take visionary measures that will allow sustainable humanitarianism.

How the Vision is Accomplished: We strive to assist people in their quest to become self-reliant and provide for a prosperous tomorrow.

• We join people with the resources needed to build successful enterprises.
• We provide the assistance and training required to create profitable enterprises that will sustain individuals and families for generations.
• We work to create a stronger, healthier future by setting up distribution channels that will help create thriving trade and commerce.
• All of these combined efforts help people enjoy the benefits of prosperity, allowing them to better serve their community in return.

What we can Achieve Together: One of the Millennium Development Goals that we firmly believe in is working in partnership with other people and organizations. Through combined resources and a variety of expertise we can facilitate broad change by:

• Identifying additional business opportunities that will drive stronger financial stability.
• Transforming small, struggling businesses into long-term, successful, and self-sufficient enterprises.
• Transforming little-to-no distribution channels into effective and prosperous channels.
• Building business alliances that will enable continued growth for years to come.
• Instilling a culture of giving back to society once the benefits of their efforts begin to materialize.
