Our impact

Real outcomes, real data

We believe in radical transparency. Here's what TEKVA has achieved, what it costs, and what we're learning about early-intervention infrastructure for the AI transition.

40+

Families supported through financial pressure

200+

People upskilled at our free AI workshops

Relief paid as cash. Paid direct to the provider.

Outcomes

What we measure

Crisis stabilisation

Emergency relief that helps prevent eviction, utility disconnection, and food insecurity.

Capability support

AI literacy training, earning readiness, and introductions to partner organisations. Practical upskilling that helps people rebuild confidence and capability.

Financial navigation

A clear picture of the whole situation, specialist referrals, and practical tools that help people see what's happening and find the right path forward.

Community strength

Some people stay connected as mentors or referrers once they're stable. That's their choice, and it's never asked in return for support. The model compounds with community trust.

Insights

What we're learning

Building early-intervention infrastructure is uncharted territory. Here's what the data is telling us. Learn more about how TEKVA works or read about our mission.

→In our experience, speed is one of the most important factors in preventing crisis escalation. A fast response can prevent outcomes that delayed responses often cannot reverse.
→AI-augmented intake significantly reduces the time it takes to organise a case, without sacrificing quality, freeing case workers to focus on human connection.
→The four-pillar model lets people move between understand, stabilise, navigate, and rebuild as their situation evolves, rather than being locked into a single pathway.
→Dignity-first design isn't just philosophy. Our experience suggests that participants who feel respected engage more deeply and refer others.
