Tine Ward

Tine Ward has spent the past thirty years connecting global capital to community-based solutions, achieving success by eliminating barriers on individual and organizational levels through the creation of deep trust-based partnerships that prioritize people, relationships and ideas above all else. 

As Founder of The Darfur Project, Tine linked key figures in the financial community to an effective mode of providing essential emergency relief to those caught in the complex humanitarian crisis of Darfur. From 2006 to 2010 $17.5 million worth of medicine and essential aid was delivered.  

Through first-hand experiences in conflict zones and natural disasters, Tine understands the critical nature of ensuring money gets into the hands of those best placed to use it. In the majority of cases these are the women in the communities. 

Rockflower is the culmination of these experiences through the recognition that by unlocking access to capital to improve the lives of women and girls a new economic paradigm is possible.
