Tumaini
Supporting societies towards autonomous eco-development
Tumaini brings together a wide range of skills to support local actors and communities towards sustainable and equitable management of the environment and natural resources, in the Global South as in the North.
See our workWho we are
The association brings together a wide range of skills that want to act collectively to support sustainable and equitable management of the environment and natural resources. It works first and foremost in the Global South, but may also act in the North where relevant.
For the association’s members, the social stakes (equity, social and environmental justice) matter as much as sustainability and protecting the environment, and the actions they pursue aim to combine the two.
Above all, it is for the people and communities concerned to define their stakes, their priorities and the paths that seem most relevant to them for meeting them. The association’s aim is to put at their service the methods and support that let them pursue their environmental, economic and social priorities autonomously.
