Torus

Our heart
and story.

Torus is a multidisciplinary team brought together through the SEEd.Lab Social Enterprise Programme, powered by PETRONAS and Tata Consultancy Services. Our backgrounds span technology, operations, strategy, entrepreneurship and community engagement, but we share one belief: meaningful impact begins with understanding real human stories.

Our mission

To empower vulnerable communities by enabling sustainable income opportunities through research, collaboration and practical innovation — reaching greater income stability, stronger financial resilience, and access to dignified work.

Our vision

A future where financially vulnerable communities have access to predictable income opportunities, allowing them to support their families with stability, dignity and confidence.

Our guiding principles

  1. 01

    Empathy before solutions

    We listen first. Understanding real lived experience is the only way to build solutions that work in the context of a mother's daily life.

  2. 02

    Sustainability over aid

    Temporary relief matters, but long-term opportunity is transformative. We build models that provide lasting financial independence.

  3. 03

    Community-centred

    Our solutions are co-created with the community so they reflect real constraints.

  4. 04

    Collaboration matters

    We partner with industry leaders and government bodies to amplify collective impact.

  5. 05

    Integrity in impact

    We stay honest about our challenges and committed to learning from every step.

Who does Torus support?

Through the SEEd.Lab programme we focus on B40 single mothers, particularly sole providers who face irregular income and need flexible work. Many we engaged showed real resilience and a deep desire to provide, while facing barriers such as limited access to stable work, childcare responsibilities and financial stress during income gaps.

  • Sole providers
  • Flexible needs
  • Limited buffers
  • Strong resilience

“Every mother deserves the opportunity to build a stable future for her children.”
