We started partnering with TLM in 2015, although we have known them for much longer than that. About 20 years ago, TLM began providing small loans to help people improve their income-generating abilities. They're now a micro-finance organisation with over 40,000 clients and roughly 500 staff. In 2010, TLM began widening their community assistance to include improving access to water and have more recently been training communities in village regulation so that they can apply for allocated government funding and use it well. We love TLM's big vision and entrepreneurial spirit. They are always thinking of creative approaches to challenges we would be scared to tackle, and they have a knack for pulling them off. We're currently partnering with TLM on village regulation training, water project design and in late 2020, began supporting small businesses impacted by the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Palu, Sulawesi.
