Challenge

T-Zen is a multimedia platform that since 2016 seeks to provide migrants with information and tools on life management in Chile in Kreyol (or Creole).

Long-Term Impact

We constantly conduct talks and workshops in different communes of the city of Santiago, taking T-Zen to the neighborhood and approaching the Haitian community of the country. We have made more than 20 workshops. We have already reached more than 5000 young migrants Haitian. Directly and indirectly we reached 30 000. The app T-zen has more than 11 000 downloads. Our goal for this 2022, is to get more than 15 000 downloads. We hope to help 200 Haitians as jobbers/entrepreneurs.
