Teacher Training and Literacy Program - Timor Leste
ERFA supports programs throughout Oceania including Timor Leste. Programs in Timor include the Timor Leste Education Project and the Timor Leste Vanilla Growing Project in Railaco.
Creating access to opportunity
ERFA’s vision is for access to quality education and life-long learning opportunities for all, supporting empowered communities who determine their own futures
Education has the power to change everything. We believe in the power of education to change lives. We know that the best education represents lifelong learning where skills are applied, lessons learned and life skills mastered.
We believe education is more than a classroom. Our focus on education is not only in life changing education for children, but in skills such as financial literacy, farming, trades, health and human rights for adults and children.
We work with the poorest communities, helping them create solutions for what they have said their biggest needs are, not by telling them. We work with local communities to deliver programs that promote continuous improvement, wellbeing and liberation for everyone.
Liberating lives through education
Education is more than a classroom. Our focus on education is for children and adults to upskill in areas such as financial literacy, farming, trades, health and human rights.
