Jeana and I have been working on how best to quickly share our goals. Please give me your comments on the following draft...thank you!!!
OUR IMPERATIVE
Educate a country out of poverty.
Tembo Trading Education Project (TTEP) was created to provide
excellence in education for financially impoverished children in Kenya. Our
success, as a cross-cultural organization, is based on trust. Trust developed,
over the past eleven years, through hands-on work with the local community and
always respecting the local culture.
Excellence in education happens by:
- involving the community;
- involving the parents or guardians;
- addressing the poverty of the area;
- attention to medical needs;
- implementation of The Akre King Transformation Model© teacher training program.
First listen, look, learn and then act with culturally adapted
solutions for sustainable transformation.
Excellence in education leads to financial independence.
OUR GOAL
Transformation of the educational system in Kenya thereby assisting the
country reach their Vision 2030 goals. By accomplishing the objectives outlined
in Vision 2030 Kenya will not only have independence but will truly be
independent.
OUR STRATEGY
Poverty strips human beings of their dignity plunging them into a life
of dependence on others to meet their needs. To restore human dignity people
must believe they have worth. We partner with communities to start the
reconstruction process in their schools.
OUR PROCESS
