east
timor
education
fund

Timor. Founded by a professionals who have worked in remote regions
of timor, etef is designed to form links between training programs
available in timor and those living in remote areas where this
support is not available. etef acts as an advocate for those who are
most disadvantaged.
et ef
supports the work of the government and
organisations working within east timor. etef encourages and
facilitates access to resources available for those otherwise unable
to access these services.
et ef
links communites. Communities in east
timor are linked. Funding is provided by linking a community in
Australia with a community in east timor. Clear benefits for all
involved.
forming a real relationship
with a community in East Timor is the best way to ensure that the
project supported is culturally and practically appropriate. It
allows for the project to be well implemented and accepted. It
allows appropriate feedback and encourages ongoing support.
for the supporting community
in Australia, there is much to be gained by following the progress
of a project in a community. There's great value in knowing where
money is being spent. It's also a great way to learn about a
different culture and way of life.
education & training
programs within East Timor are often under-represented by those
from poorer and remote areas of Timor. Through supporting access
to services within East Timor, etef encourages the linking of
communities within East Timor. The potential for professional
networking and business is exciting!
et ef
is a non-profit, incorporated
organisation staffed by volunteers. Projects are designed in
collabaration with local people. All funds raised support projects
in east timor. There are no administration costs.
