Education, Mentorship and Leadership

TEDA strengthens education through its School–Community (S-C) Model, working with students, teachers, parents, and community leaders to improve school enrolment, reduce dropout rates, prevent child marriage, and nurture ethical young leaders. By combining mentorship, leadership development, community engagement, and access to opportunities, we equip young people with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to shape a better future.
