Together, we can break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future.

The challenge

The majority of Tereo’s children come from deeply dysfunctional family environments, where extreme poverty is a daily reality. Many live in overcrowded, unstable, or makeshift housing, while some have no place to call home and are forced to sleep on the streets.

In these harsh conditions, children often experience chronic neglect, leaving them without proper nutrition, healthcare, or emotional support. Many face physical, emotional, and even sexual abuse, with little to no protection from the dangers surrounding them. Exposure to substance abuse, domestic violence, and criminal activity is common, further increasing their vulnerability to exploitation and harm.

Without intervention, these children are at high risk of continuing the cycle of poverty, abuse, and trauma. Tereo exists to be a beacon of hope, providing a safe and nurturing environment where children can receive the education, care, and support they need to heal, grow, and build a better future.

Our mission

At Tereo, we are committed to restoring hope and transforming lives by providing quality education, care, and emotional support to children from underprivileged and dysfunctional backgrounds. Many of our students come from extreme poverty, neglect, and abuse, with some facing the harsh reality of life on the streets.

Our mission is to create a safe, nurturing environment where every child is valued, empowered, and given the opportunity to break free from the cycle of hardship. Through dedicated teaching, mentorship, and holistic development, we equip our students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to build a brighter future.

We believe that every child deserves love, dignity, and the chance to succeed—because education is more than just learning; it’s a pathway to hope and transformation.
