Economic Opportunity
Breaking the cycle of poverty through sustainable empowerment. The Tangle Foundation equips underserved communities with microfinance, skills, and apprenticeships to build lasting wealth.
The Poverty Challenge
Over 700 million people live on less than $2.15 a day (World Bank, 2023). Poverty persists due to lack of capital, skills, and jobs—trapping families in a cycle of deprivation.
- • Rural Areas: 70% of the world's poor live in rural regions.
- • Microfinance Impact: 80% of recipients improve income in two years (CGAP).
- • Apprenticeships: Graduates see 20-30% wage increases (ILO).
Our Approach to Economic Empowerment
Microfinance
Low-interest loans spark entrepreneurship. In 2024, $500,000 supported 200+ women in Ethiopia, with 85% boosting income by 40% in six months.
Skills Training
Market-relevant skills like tailoring and coding lift employability. In Bangladesh, 300 women earned 50% more via textile training in 2024.
Apprenticeships
Partnerships with 15 global firms placed 1,000 apprentices in 2024—90% of South African trainees landed full-time renewable energy jobs.
Breaking the Cycle
Our triad of initiatives fuels a ripple effect. In India, communities with all three saw poverty drop 25% in 18 months, with women's workforce participation up 15%.
- • Higher income cuts child malnutrition by 5-10% (World Bank).
- • School attendance rises 7% per year of parental earnings.
- • Local economies grow as new businesses thrive.
From Maria's food stall in Honduras to solar jobs in South Africa, we're building economic ladders out of poverty.
Sustainability and Scale
With a 92% loan repayment rate and train-the-trainer models, our programs self-sustain. In 2025, we'll scale to 20 countries, targeting 50,000 beneficiaries, integrating menstrual equity for broader impact.
