Education should
lead somewhere.
We are a nonprofit building the practical bridge between interrupted education and real-world independence.
The Problem
Displacement often means education stops. Or worse, it continues but leads to no employment.
Our Method
A connected ecosystem of language, digital skills, and career mentorship.
The Outcome
Readiness for work. Increased independence. Dignity restored through capability.
We saw a broken link between learning and life.
TEEI was founded to support girls whose education was interrupted by crisis. We saw a pattern: access to school didn't guarantee access to the economy.
Crisis
Conflict or inequality disrupts traditional schooling paths. Degrees become unrecognized; careers stall.
The Bridge
TEEI provides the "missing middle": Language for the workplace. Skills for the digital economy.
Independence
The goal is not just a certificate, but readiness for work, income-generating opportunities, and the ability to rebuild on one's own terms.
A clear, connected pathway.
Connection → Language → Skills → Work.
A designed ecosystem, not isolated interventions.
Connection
Reducing isolation through peer support groups and community building to create a foundation for learning.
Language
Live courses in 11 languages, focused specifically on workplace communication and professional vocabulary.
Skills
Technical training with partners like DataCamp and Splunk, targeting high-demand digital roles.
Mentorship
1-to-1 professional guidance to navigate the job market, fix CVs, and practice interviews.
Who We Support
TEEI primarily supports girls and women facing structural barriers. All programmes are designed with women's realities in mind, including safety, confidence, caregiving responsibilities, and continuity over time.
