About Us

Who We Are

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. The Initiative for Justice and Equitable Education for Development (JEED) is a nonprofit organization powered by the philosophy of knowledge transfer, empowering the new generation of young people to become highly educated through scholarships in partnership with stakeholders and a community of leaders and institutions who believes in transgenerational leadership. A collective action in building a sustainable and resilient future.
In the words of Nelson Mandela “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” and the JEED initiative is committed to ensure an equitable and quality education, leaving no one behind
