Tifie’s 10 Year Anniversary Party: A Celebration Among Friends

It was small trek through the beautiful east canyon for many, a big trek across the world for a few but an equal amount of happiness all around as our community gathered on September 9th at Tifie Ranch.

If one word could describe Tifie’s 10 Year Anniversary Party it would be love.  But, one word does not suffice for the gratitude and feelings we have for all of those who attended. You’ll find through these videos and photos all the feels, the smiles and the joy  when like-minded people share the same commitment of doing good.

A Special Thank You To Our International, Guests

It was an honor to have past and present project partners attend this event.

King Nana Prah shared his perspective of how Tifie impacts those in his community with all of us. Tifie has worked with Nana for the last 4 years, providing over 300 solar generators to families, entrepreneurs and schools in Kushea.

“It is difficult to tell who has benefited but it is tangible. If you know the places Tifie has been in Ghana, Kushea— before and after— then you can feel the difference.” – Nana Prah, Assin Kushea

Bernard Balibuno joined us from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Bernard was the Director of Tifie for several years and was responsible for all of our operations in the DRC. With his experience and passion, Tifie developed businesses throughout the Kinshasa and Accra and connected with like-minded organizations and leaders. It was a joy to see Bernard’s family at the event, as many of us have spent time with them in their home in DRC throughout the years.

Jaime Figureroa travelled from Peru, an experienced humanitarian in building projects, teams and helping people provide for themselves. He has been working with Tifie as a project partner for three years, and has deep roots in Peru and Utah of doing good.

No matter how you’ve been a part of Tifie, from as simple as shopping with Amazon Smile (search and select Tifie Humanitarian as your non-profit), working at Goal Zero, or partnering with us on a project, we are all all connected with the same drive of simply doing good and providing tools that lead to sustainability. We felt the presence of that desire and recognize that in efforts to lift others up, we in turn are lifted up.

And finally, let’s pause and thank the women behind the scenes.

Halen Seevinck and Mindy Burton
Halen, Tifie Executive Director, has worked with Tifie for 9 years, been employed with Goal Zero, participated in multiple humanitarian trips, and keeps the engine running. Mindy Burton is the marketing and content strategist at Tifie, and became an amazing event coordinator.
