Our Story
Teach the Teachers is a non-profit initiative founded to make an impact on the rural communities and especially their youth, by teaching and promoting English. We aim to reach this goal by helping the local teachers improve their English, help them come up with new teaching methods and stressing the importance of English to the students. Knowledge of English increases their job opportunities, allows for self-development, and eventually increases their general welfare.
Why do we work with Teachers
Teach the Teachers is committed to making a sustainable and long-lasting impact. If we work with the students directly, we can only help 40-50 students every year. If we help just 1 teacher, they can in turn help anywhere between 1000 - 2000 students over their teaching career.
