Organization
We are Tanga International Competence Centre
A social business
After many years of volunteering in Tanzania and working at Norad and Norwegian Nurses Organization we experienced the power of charitable work, but also the drawbacks. Creating sustainable impact requires time and a continuous dedication to the everyday life of the community we are helping. Something that is impossible in time limited projects.
We decided instead that our approach would be to work closely with locals and make a difference together, every day. For that reason TICC is not set up as a charity, but as a social business in Tanzania with employees and revenues where any profits goes to our traditional not for profit organization TICC HAMA and back into the community.
We are proud of being the biggest tax payer among medium size companies in Tanga, and hope that our effort will improve daily life for people in the rural local communities.
Tanga International Competence Centre is a privately owned Tanzanian social business with the ultimate goal of improving local communities in Tanga, Tanzania. TICC is a fully self-sustainable organization with 92 employees and revenues coming from student internships and visiting businesses.
The competence center which is also the HQ for all charitable activities is fully owned and paid for by TICC. All profits and any donations goes to our NGO, TICC HAMA, and directly impact local communities.
