Transformational Business Network
Fighting Poverty through Sustainable Enterprise
WHO WE ARE
TBN is a global network of purpose-driven entrepreneurs, impact investors and capacity builders who take an enterprise approach to alleviate poverty in low-income and underserved communities.
We believe in the power of multi-faith, multi-sector, multi-stakeholder partnerships, pooling and leveraging the unique resources and strengths each of us bring to create a multiplier effect of impact. We are faith-based but not faith-biased, and work across multiple faiths, and with people of no faith.
Over the next five years, TBN Alliance will launch an estimated 1,800 ventures, providing approximately 11,850 new jobs in frontier and emerging markets globally.
