Teach For India (TFI) is a non-profit organization established in 2007, when a group of leaders working to reform education in India came together to seek an innovative solution to ending educational inequity in the country. During this time, they had the opportunity to meet with Wendy Kopp, CEO and Founder of Teach For America (TFA) and learn about the model. TFA was also being approached by leaders in several other countries to adapt and apply the TFA model in their respective countries.
In 2007, a new organization called Teach For All was created to support entrepreneurs in other countries who were pursuing the development of the Teach For America model locally. Teach For All was launched at the Clinton Global Initiative in September of 2007. Although a significant resource for Teach For India, Teach For All is a separately incorporated, funded, and staffed organization that is being incubated within Teach For America. wikipedia
