Welcome to TIFA Life, a guiding light of hope and recovery for children who are in care or have faced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE).
We uphold the belief that the transformative influence of holistic therapy, comprehensive training, and meaningful work experiences are the best vehicles to assist in recovery from childhood trauma and the path to independence from those who suffer the aftermath of it.
Our objective is to establish a nurturing environment where each child can rediscover their strength, resilience, and innate potential.
Recognising that every journey is distinctive, we custom-tailor our programs to offer a personalised approach to healing and growth. By combining therapeutic interventions, skill-building training, and real-world work experiences, our aim is to empower these extraordinary individuals to overcome challenges and lay the groundwork for a brighter future.
At TIFA Life, we are more than just a care provider; we are a family dedicated to fostering positive change and aiding each child in realising their full potential.
