About Tashabos Educational Organization (TEO)

Established in December 2010, the Tashabos Education Organization (TEO) is a Kabul-based, Afghan-led nonprofit and nongovernmental organization dedicated to empowering youth and women through education, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement. Officially registered with the Ministry of Economy, TEO equips high school students—particularly those in Grades 10–12—with practical knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship, market economics, leadership, responsible citizenship, and good governance.

TEO evolved from a successful initiative of the Center for International Private Enterprise and has received support from the National Endowment for Democracy. The organization operates across Kabul, Nangarhar, Parwan, and Bamyan provinces, working in close coordination with national institutions including the Ministry of Education, the former Ministry of Women's Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Afghanistan Women Chamber of Commerce and Industries, and the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries.

Certified by the Afghanistan Institute for Civil Society and a member of the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief and Development, TEO demonstrates strong governance and institutional sustainability. Through its flagship Tashabos entrepreneurship program and complementary initiatives in education, teacher training, research, and youth and women’s empowerment, TEO has supported thousands of Afghan youth—especially girls—in developing entrepreneurial mindsets, self-reliance, and leadership skills. By fostering innovation, ethical business practices, and civic responsibility, TEO contributes to sustainable development and socio-economic resilience in Afghanistan.
