THE TWEDEX FOUNDATION

The Twedex Foundation is a brand new initiative dedicated to empowering underserved communities through the transformative power of education and innovation. The Foundation’s mission is to create sustainable change by providing educational resources and essential support to communities in need.

The Foundation is a natural extension of Trans World Educational Experiences, which has long been committed to fostering global understanding and development through immersive educational programmes for international school students. Building on this legacy, the Foundation aims to address the educational and developmental needs of underserved communities on a larger scale.

HOW WE AIM TO HELP

The Twedex Foundation was launched in August 2024. To find out more about our initial projects and longer term ambitions, you can read more here.

As a school tour operator, Trans World Educational Experiences visits countries such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, Kenya, and South Africa with school groups on a regular basis.

Our groups have long been keen to leave a positive legacy after their tour has finished, and we believe the Twedex Foundation will allow us to do this.

Whether it’s painting the lines on a new sports court, supporting fundraising activities before a visit, or facilitating training and education for teachers and coaches who can pass their knowledge onto future generations of young people – it’s our aim to make these things happen, thus enhancing the education provision in the communities we engage with during our school tours.

OUR COMMITMENT

The Twedex Foundation is passionate about supporting young people in education and sports across the world.

We aim to use the connections and experience gained from 15 years in the school travel industry to allow us to give back to the next generation of learners in some of our host countries.

Our commitment includes:

  • Redevelopment and ongoing maintenance of sports facilities
  • Provision of new sports equipment
  • Recruitment and employment of additional Teachers
  • Assistance with establishment of school sports programme
  • Ongoing training of school’s teachers and sports coaches

PARTNERSHIP

Our first partnership supporting Peraliya Sri Jinarathana Maha Vidyalaya, a remarkable school located in Hikkaduwa (Sri Lanka) kicked off in August 2024, nearly 20 years since the school was impacted by the 2004 tsunami.

Twedex has forged strong ties with the school’s staff and students in recent times, and we are delighted to be supporting the school with their efforts to enrich the lives of children from the local area.

It is our ambition that the partnership with Peraliya is the first of many fruitful relationships with schools and youth organisations across the world.
