OUR VALUES

The Culture We Maintain


 

Collaboration

In partnership, we aim to build not just schools and businesses, but also positive relationships between all stakeholders that will stand the test of time. It takes a village to raise a child and it will take all of us to build a strong foundation for future generations.

Community Ownership

Sustainability can only be achieved through the authentic involvement of local communities in decision-making. We believe those impacted by the problems serve as critical resources when looking for workable solutions.

Gender Equality

Equal opportunity is one of the founding principles of Tererai Trent International. We believe every human being should have the right to respect, education, business opportunities and employment regardless of gender.
