ABOUT US
Tanzania Enlightenment Development Innovations (TEDI) is a Non-for-Profit Organization registered under section 11(1) and 17(2) of the Non-Governmental Organisations Act, 2002 No.24.
TEDI was founded in 2019 with operations launched in 2021. Our main focus is to improve the quality of education in Tanzania from primary level to higher learning institution by bridging the gap between theories and practises. We bridge the gap through integrating practical skills not provided in the normal educational curriculum. We provide services that include digital literacy, financial literacy, leadership, and employability skills programs.
Our vision is to have a young, vibrant generation with the capacity to develop Tanzania and be sufficiently competitive on the global market.
Our mission is to improve the quality and relevance of education by re-evaluating how we learn and encouraging active learning by incorporating practical components in the educational system.
Our Story
We have witnessed the struggles of poverty, high youth unemployment, lack of equity, and the migration of young people to urban areas in search of opportunities. We have seen young bright minds fall behind due to a lack of skills, resources, and the increasing gap between formal education and real-world skills.
As a result, Tanzania Enlightenment Development Innovations (TEDI) was founded in 2019 to educate the future generations of Tanzania. We are passionate to create opportunities, empower youth with modern skills to break cycles of poverty and inequality, and influence systemic change across the education system.
TEDI started with just one laptop and a single classroom of students eager to learn. We know that improving the life outlook for youth requires involving all members of communities. Now over five years in operation, we are all over Tanzania and have equipped communities, schools, and thousands of youth with practical skills and digital tools improving their economic opportunity. To every partner, educator, and leader – we invite you to join us.
Together we can combat youth unemployment, integrate digital skills into education, and create opportunities where none existed before.
Help our youth learn today, so they can lead tomorrow.
