Unicef Timor-Leste
Since the restoration of independence in 2002, UNICEF has been working to promote and protect the rights and wellbeing of all children. We work with the Government of Timor-Leste, businesses and civil society organisations to ensure the rights of all girls and boys to survival, development, protection and participation. UNICEF works with Government to bring basic services and opportunities to all children in Timor-Leste, including in education, health, nutrition, child protection, water, sanitation and hygiene, social protection and inclusion. Nearly half of Timor-Leste’s population is under the age of 18 years and about 70 percent of its population lives in rural areas, with 60 per cent engaged in subsistence agriculture. Nearly 42 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. Timor-Leste’s large youth population presents an enormous opportunity and a significant challenge for the promotion and protection of children’s rights. The country is among the least developed countries in the world. Partnerships are the heart of everything UNICEF does. The power of partnerships allows us to expand our reach, working with a wide range of like-minded partners to deliver our mandate for children, in line with our country programme. UNICEF works in partnership with the Government of Timor-Leste, development partners, civil society and children to ensure the survival, development, protection and participation of children, with a focus on inequities and disadvantaged children and their families. UNICEF programmes are aligned with the Government of Timor-Leste’s National Strategic Plan 2011-2030.

Giracatavento - Association For The Education Beyond Borders
GiraCatavento was born from a dream — to transform the way children and young people in East Timor learn, discover, and express themselves. As a nonprofit organization, we believe that education goes far beyond the classroom. It grows through curiosity, imagination, dialogue, and discovery. Our mission is to build a network of after-school activities that nurture cognitive development, creativity, and critical thinking, while keeping a strong and meaningful connection with the Portuguese language. The seed of GiraCatavento was planted during our founder Adriana Mamede’s volunteer experience in East Timor. There, she realized that many teachers and students face linguistic barriers that limit access to knowledge and self-expression. What she found was enormous potential — just waiting to be awakened. Today, GiraCatavento is working to give wings to that potential: creating spaces where children can imagine, question, and learn freely, joyfully, and meaningfully. Our dream doesn’t end in East Timor. We aim to bring this transformative energy to other Portuguese-speaking communities (CPLP), connecting generations through education, culture, and a shared language.
