TEP
In partnership with Together (Switzerland), Street Child, HYT Uganda and many other partners – churches, organisations and individual friends – together with the communities of Pajok and Palabek.
Beyond the classroom, TEP invests in the conditions that make learning possible for refugee children in Pajok and Palabek.
Welcome to Trinity Education Programme. For more than twenty years we have brought quality education directly to South Sudanese refugee children and youth, and to the children of the communities that host them – first in war-affected Pajok, and since 2017 in the Palabek Refugee Settlement in Uganda.
For a refugee child, a TEP school is more than a classroom – it is a safe place to learn without fear.
Safe, permanent boarding for pupils who walk long distances through unsafe terrain.
US$110 a month for each of the ten Ugandan teachers serving our Pajok school.
A borehole at Lokung and water taps at Palabek bring clean, safe water to pupils and neighbours.
Safe housing for teachers recruited from Uganda, near the schools they serve.
Maize on TEP's 14-acre Lokung farm feeds pupils, with sunflower planned for cooking oil.
"Atepi" is Acholi for "let me take water to them" – bringing education to children cut off by war.
