EDUCATION THAT DEVELOPS SUSTAINABLE CHANGE
Tembo is looking at the problems faced by Africans in a different way.
Providing more than just a momentary handout or unsustainable solution, we have worked for over 15 years, hand-in-hand with African people and their communities. Through this cooperative growth, our model has begun to unlock student potential, generate employment and jobs, and assist Africans in building a self-sustaining economy.
The old adage of teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime is well intentioned, but one must ask if there is a river to fish from or a market to sell his fish to? The truth is that most charitable organizations and NGO’s never ask – they tell. That is the major difference of Tembo Trading.
Founders, Debra and Jeana, speak with African parents, community members, politicians, and have worked with them to invent change that will last.
“More than 30 communities and over 15,000 children are using this model. African teachers and students communicate their successes and we now have more requests to implement the system than we are able to meet,” said co-founders Debra and Jeana.
They have seen that all parents want a better future for their children. They have seen that young minds, when given the opportunity, learn at a rapid, almost astounding pace. To do this, African students need a safe environment, the right educational tools, and the opportunity to grow.

“Ultimately, our goal is to provide education to all children so they can grow to develop their own thriving economies. They become empowered adults who teach the next generation. It’s sustainable.”
