Empower tomorrow’s teachers in Timor-Leste

Your support today creates a ripple effect that will transform thousands of lives.

In Timor-Leste, education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, yet many of the brightest minds are forced to abandon their dreams of becoming teachers because they cannot afford the cost of the degree. These are the young men and women who want to become qualified teachers – the very leaders who will inspire the next generation.

You can be the reason a future teacher stays in the classroom.

When you give to the students at the Instituto São João de Brito (ISJB), you aren’t just paying for a lecture or a textbook. You are investing in a Tertiary education that empowers a student to become a pillar of their community. By removing the financial barriers of tuition and the daily struggle for food and transport, you ensure that these dedicated future educators can focus on their studies and graduate ready to lead.

The impact of your support

Your tax-deductible gift provides the stability a tertiary student needs to succeed:

• $535 can provide tuition fees for one student teacher for a year.
• $130 can help provide essential learning materials and extracurricular activities for one student teacher.
• $40 can support a student teacher’s monthly allowance, including daily living costs such as meals and basic needs.

Your generosity is directly translated into the high-quality training these future leaders deserve.

Will you help a student finish their degree and become the teacher Timor-Leste needs?
