About the Organization

Trickle Up India Foundation (TUIF) is a nationally registered non-profit organization that partners with women in deprivation in India to build economic opportunity and drive inclusion. Together with governments and local non-governmental organizations, we reach underserved women in remote, rural areas with programming that enables them to forge their own resilient pathways out of poverty for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Since 2013, TUIF has been empowering women in ultra-poverty who have faced discrimination, and social and economic isolation all their lives. Through our programs, they develop sustainable livelihoods and strong savings habits, strengthening their capacity, self-reliance, and stability. They begin building their self-esteem and resilience. This profound individual transformation has positive ripple effects for their families, throughout their communities, and over generations.
