The NGO Teach For Portugal, a partner of Teach For All, focuses its action in the most disadvantaged communities in Portugal with a view to reducing educational inequalities and improving the levels of academic success, by ensuring that all children have access to equal educational opportunities regardless of their socio-economic background.

To this end, the project develops leadership and entrepreneurship programmes in the classroom context, which are implemented by recent graduates and young professionals from different fields equipped and supported to fulfil this mission. These programmes run for a period of two years, during which these young leaders are called upon to help bolster children’s learning through the provision of classroom-based support in traditional subject areas and, even more importantly, through personal development and capacity building in areas such as self-confidence, determination and perseverance.

In the context of its mission and axes of intervention, the Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation participates in this project under the Partnerships for Impact Programme, with the aim of contributing to the promotion of educational responses that help ensure that all children have access to equal opportunities to reach their full potential.
