GFTA's resource-sharing mechanism allows innovative and experimental education initiatives to find financial resources needed and learn about best practices from around the world.
"The global skills gap is a critical issue for our current and future generations. We welcome all education reformers to join this alliance and break barriers together," said Cazadira Fediva Tamzil, Lead of GFTA by Pijar Foundation. In its first year, GFTA aspires to support 25 initiatives globally.
EdHeroes and Pijar Foundation recently met education innovators across Indonesia, including Princess Mangkubumi, the Royal family of Yogyakarta member, well-known as a youth movement and education activist. They are also taking part in the 2022 Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) conference in Bali, Asia's largest social investing convening seeking to drive capital toward impact.
