Who are we?
Beacon of Genuine Social Change
In Amharic, “Tilaye” translates to “shield” or “protector,” embodying the power we hold to uplift and protect one another. At Tilaye, we believe in the transformative potential of sustainable solutions to create meaningful, lasting impact in underserved communities while delivering value to customers.
Our mission goes beyond commerce—it’s about connection and purpose. We are building a marketplace where every product tells a unique story of resilience and innovation, every purchase becomes an act of empowerment, and every transaction paves the way for a brighter, more equitable future.
Through our platform, we bridge the gap between socially conscious consumers, mission-driven businesses, and grassroots producer communities. By fostering authentic relationships and promoting verifiable impact, we aim to redefine the way the world trades—making sustainability, transparency, and community upliftment the cornerstones of commerce.
At Tilaye, we are not just creating a marketplace; we are cultivating a movement. A movement where every choice, big or small, contributes to the collective effort of building a world that works better for everyone. Together, we can turn intention into action and action into lasting change.
Tilaye stands to fulfill the end customer’s desire for social good while effectively amplifying the impacts of corporate social investments, ensuring that every effort resonates with meaningful change and community empowerment.
These are our core values, the guiding principles that define who we are and how we operate. We hold them close and never compromise on them.

Community-First Approach
