Empreza Diak NGO

Empreza Di'ak is a Timorese NGO with an innovative mission in a country where 40% of the population lives outside the market economy, over 20% is unemployed, 60% lives with less than $0.88 per day and yet, we are still importing products that could be produced locally! We are using the power of business to fight poverty. There is a place and a time for charity, but now Timor Leste needs to enhance its creativity and entrepreneurship to increase income generation and promote sustainable local social businesses that answer to local needs. That is why our mission is to fight poverty by breaking down market barriers through sustainable and replicable business solutions that empower the East-Timorese and have a social impact.
