1.0 ABOUT TIDA
ORGANIZATION PROFILE
True Prophecy Integrated Development Actors (TIDA) is a youth-led, non-profit ministry organization dedicated to integrating faith and science to promote environmental conservation, empower communities, combat hunger, and foster sustainable development.
Founded in 2019 and legally certified in Rwanda on March 14, 2023 (Legal Personality No. 188/RGB/FBO/03/2023), TIDA operates as a faith-based ministry organization rooted in biblical teachings. Inspired by the mandate to “Make the former Eden”, we strive to be faithful stewards of God’s creation.
Additionally, TIDA has taken steps toward registration in the United States. We are currently in the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) status and have already secured the State & Federal All-In-One Labor Law Poster: Labor Law Poster Requirement Notice. Our U.S. operations are based in Morion, Indiana.
TIDA was established to address the limited engagement of faith-based organizations and young individuals in environmental conservation and climate resilience. We bridge the gap between ministry organizations, churches, and faith-based institutions to actively promote sustainability. Through education, advocacy, and action, we challenge harmful ideologies and empower communities to take an active role in environmental stewardship.

❖ OUR MAJOR INITIATIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS:
3.1 CHILD IN BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION (CBC) PROJECT
3.1.1 Overview of CBC Project
The Child in Biodiversity Conservation (CBC) Project is designed to place rural Christian children at the heart of biodiversity conservation. We recognize that early education and engagement are key to building lifelong environmental stewards.
The project aims to address the lack of engagement among faith-based organizations, particularly their youth and children, in conservation efforts in Rwanda. This issue is especially pronounced in regions near Gishwati-Mukura Forest Park and Akagera National Park, areas that have suffered significant biodiversity loss and ecological degradation. The project’s primary goal is to empower children and youth from various churches, interdenominational groups, and other faith-based organizations to become future advocates for environmental conservation and climate resilience. This is achieved through a blend of biblical teachings and scientific conservation practices.
CBC operates in high-risk biodiversity areas, particularly in the districts surrounding Gishwati-Mukura Forest Park and Akagera National Park. Currently, the project is active in Kayonza District, with two field centers:
• Rwinkwavu CBC Center (Kayonza District): 600 children participate weekly, including 55% girls, 45% boys, and children with disabilities.
• Murundi CBC Center (near Gatsibo District): 150 children participate weekly (64% girls, 36% boys).
Every Saturday, children gather at these centers for Eco-Day Camps, where they learn about environmental conservation and climate action. Our target is to raise and equip 14,400 children and youth by the end of our strategic plan (2023-2028), with a strong focus on those from faith-based and denominational organizations. These groups have a biblical mandate for creation care, yet their engagement in environmental stewardship remains limited. Our initiative seeks to bridge this gap by increasing the participation of churches and their members in conservation efforts.
3.1.2 Current Impact
 2,400 trees planted by CBC children at their homes.
 2,000 teaching materials distributed to Early Childhood Development (ECD) centers,
nursery schools, primary schools, and denominational Sunday schools, reaching
approximately 7,000 children.
 1,203 teachers trained in Sunday schools, ECDs, nursery, and primary schools.
3.1.3 Future goals
 Plant 80,000 trees by the end of the 2023-2028 strategic plan.
 "Fridays for Future" Program: Children will inspire others through theatre, debates, arts,
and media engagement (TV and radio broadcasts).

Environmental Conservation through Arts Program: Children will use arts and handcrafts to convey climate action messages, including participation from children with disabilities.
 Eco-Conservation & Climate Action Gaming Center for Children: A learning hub using interactive games to promote environmental conservation, biodiversity protection, and climate action.
