Education plays a critical role in the economic development of any country worldwide, and, its absence is the most limiting factor in the process of socio-economic growth and development.
Despite efforts set towards the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, and billions of dollars spent in aid, the goal of access to primary education for every child, by 2015, is far from realized.
Terra was created with the long-term benefits of access to quality education in mind. The impetus behind Terra’s creation was to contribute to economic sustainability and equality, and consequently to world peace, through educational development. Its efforts are aligned with solving the serious problem of unequal access to quality education for all, and in doing so contributing to the growth and wellbeing of children and underprivileged populations worldwide.
Terra works by mobilizing and working with ethically- aligned actors in the field of educational management and international development (i.e. NGOs, governments, academic institutions, and philanthropic organizations) via cooperative and supportive partnerships in the areas of project management, research and development, consulting, and fundraising, in order to complete projects in the field of education and international development. Its clients are also its partner organizations, meaning that these organizations hire Terra to help solve the problem at hand.
Terra’s activities include consulting and advice, project management, R & D, policy analysis, feasibility and needs assessment, monitoring and evaluation design & implementation, fundraising strategy and execution, skills and professional training. Terra’s unique business model is that it is a specialized recruiting organization in the field of educational management and international development. It hires out the right talent to fulfill its greater objective of providing equal access to quality education for those in need of it.
