TIDA is a ministry organization that educates, inspires, and mobilizes Christians in their efforts to care for God's creation, to be faithful stewards of God's provision, to get involved in regions of Rwanda and the world impacted by pollution, and to advocate for actions and policies that honor God’s creation and protect the environment.
TIDA Founded in 2022 as non-profit organization, TIDA’s work is grounded in the Holy Scriptures. That is bible's teaching on the responsibility of God's people to "Make the former Eden” " and in a desire to be faithful to Jesus Christ and follow Him. TIDA publishes materials to equip and inspire individuals, families, and churches.

TIDA projects do share a community emphasis, with a focus on science and research, traditional and natural practical conservation, environmental education, through site-based projects and wider advocacy.
TIDA's activities are based on God's love for all creation as shown in the Bible or in Jesus Christ. With others who share the Christian heritage we are committed to the preservation of creation, and we do this with the hope that Christ is our king. We believe that we have been called to it by Christ as a service given to us. We do this by praying, encouraging each other through the Bible, and the main purpose of all our activities is to give glory to God.
In order to expand and spread the truth of what we believe, TIDA enjoys the relationship between us and other organizations or ministries in Rwanda or outside of Rwanda, we do not only work with church members, but we work with other people of culture and 'beliefs that are different from ours. Because we believe it is important in our work since it makes more to learn.
We are credible advocates for conservation beyond the church. While a TIDA is distinctively Christian, we choose not to speak exclusively to Christian audiences. We are working to show god’s love for all creation, including people. Worldwide we work in many local contexts, so our projects reflect a great diversity of cultures, communities, ecosystems and approaches. Our aim is that they are all characterized by good science and good biblical teachings, by healthy involvement in local communities and local churches and by being prepared to work alongside others who may not always share our beliefs. We work with nature, live out our convictions and seek to communicate the significance of this to many audiences.
• We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God created the heavens and the earth; and, made humans in God’s image, to be in loving relationship with God and to be stewards of all that God had made. (Genesis 1-2)
• Although humans were created to be in loving relationship with God, each other and all creation; in our sin and disobedience, we rebelled against God. As a result, our fellowship with God was broken, and all of creation was subject to the effects of human sin. (Genesis 3)
• We believe in Jesus Christ, fully God and fully human, begotten not made. Christ came into the world to reconcile humanity to God. Through his teaching and actions Jesus demonstrated the power and presence of the kingdom of God: justice, healing, hope, and mercy. Although sinless, Jesus obediently suffered unto death, paying the penalty for human sin in order to reconcile humanity and all creation to God. (I Peter 3:18; Romans 8) Through his resurrection he triumphed over death. God offers us salvation and reconciliation by grace through faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection. (John 3) We believe Jesus will return in glory and restore all things to himself. (Revelation 21: 1-5)
• We believe in the Holy Spirit, the presence of Christ, who leads people to repentance, restores those who respond in faith, and guides us as we seek to live faithful lives that honor God. (John 14: 26; Romans 8: 14-17)
• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) The Bible is the story of God’s ongoing relationship with his creation, covenants and saving work.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers through our Lord Jesus Christ. The church is the world-wide community of followers of Jesus, with equality across race, gender and class differences. (Galatians 3:16) God calls us to be united in faith to do the work of the Kingdom of God on earth. This includes proclaiming the gospel in word and deed by making disciples of all people (Matthew 25: 31-46; Matthew 28: 16-20) and working together for the renewal of God’s creation. (e.g., Acts 3:21; Romans 8: 18-21)
