All founders of JEO once worked as volunteer Teachers in the Southern District of Zanzibar where the JEO is based. While volunteering, they found out that many community member in Zanzibar especially youth and women lived in excess poverty, had no job opportunities and lacked marketable skills. They also found out a lot of challenges in Schools which hinders the development of marketable skills among the youth. All founders believe that education is the foundation for development of any community and, in order to make their contribution towards community development, the founders decided to start a Voluntary organization to help underprivileged youth have access to quality education to enable them have marketable skills for self-reliance, for their future employment and, improve their standards of living.
