TITA began with one child whose first word became the name of a movement.
A single mother was caring for her four year old son, a child with an Acquired Brain Injury who was non verbal and experiencing severe behavioural challenges. She had no meaningful support, no affordable therapy and no clear pathway forward. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she was considering relinquishing care.
After meeting the family, it was clear that this was not a case of a mother who had given up. It was a case of a family that had been left without the support they desperately needed.
The founder began working with the family after hours, without charge. Soon after, a speech therapist and occupational therapist also offered their time. Together with the dedication of the child’s mother and a close family friend, the team worked alongside the child for many months.
Then, after approximately 18 months, the child said his first word.
“Tita.”
He was trying to say the name of the family friend who had helped him practise and participate in therapy throughout the week. Her name was Rita.
That one word changed everything.
Over time, the child’s communication improved, his behaviours became safer, and his world began to open. He went on to attend mainstream school, travel on public transport, play in the park and participate in family life in ways that had once felt impossible.
TITA was born from that moment, from the belief that the right support, offered at the right time, can change the entire direction of a person’s life.
Too many people fall through the cracks.
TITA exists for those people. We step in where there is genuine need, practical possibility and a chance to make a meaningful difference.
TITA is human, practical and responsive.
For some families, the most powerful intervention is therapy. For others, it is food on the table. For others, it is a wheelchair, a funded assessment, advocacy, or training for the people around them.
We believe dignity begins with being seen.
Our mission is to revolutionise community health by empowering international and local populations to utilise their resources, reducing burdens, enhancing resilience, and forming global healthcare alliances. This comprehensive approach involves educating communities, bridging service gaps, and relying on donor support.
Tita’s core principles include Equitable Resources, Benevolence, Humanity, Perseverance, Compassion, Empathy, and Solidarity. These values drive their advocacy and support efforts, guiding strategic decisions to provide the best care. They aim to enhance healthcare education, advocate for universal health equity, and ensure every individual seeking help is supported.
Tita is committed to a future where quality allied and secondary health care is a universal reality. Our vision transcends boundaries, aiming to eliminate the healthcare disparity caused by socioeconomic differences. We imagine a world where every individual has the opportunity not just to survive, but to thrive, nurtured by the right care and support
