In August 2024, TEDI was honoured to be invited to the World Youth Development Forum in Beijing. Executive Director Gloria Anderson delivered a keynote at the forum’s opening ceremony, sharing insights about the One Computer Lab, One School project and its impact on youth in Tanzania. The forum, which opened on International Youth Day (12 August 2024) gathered more than 2000 youth leaders and policymakers from over 130 countries.
“Being given a platform to speak about our work and its impact was humbling,” Anderson wrote in her personal reflection. She thanked the All‑China Youth Federation and the forum committee for the opportunity, and expressed gratitude to supporters and partners who have rallied behind TEDI. Anderson emphasised that the vision of equipping youth with digital skills will continue to take shape, stating, “The world is waiting for the youth from under‑privileged communities in Tanzania to reveal their hidden treasures!”
