Rooted in Heritage, Growing Global Impact

Like the Tilia tree that provides shelter and healing across cultures, we believe in nurturing communities from the ground up. Our approach draws from the Kalenjin concept of Tiliet—kinship and collective growth—while embracing innovative solutions that honor local knowledge and create lasting change.

Founded by young Kenyans who recognized both the strength of ancestral wisdom and the need for inclusive modern governance, Tilia bridges worlds to create spaces where every voice can help grow futures.
