TVI subscribes to the principle that education is essential in advancing human rights, gender equity, social justice and a healthy environment in communities that host the Company’s operations. There can be no sustainable future without a responsive and inclusive education system.

In implementing its Responsive Education initiatives as a major component of its Quadrants of Development, TVI partners with other sectors of society to ensure that programs for the advancement of education are relevant to beneficiaries.

TVI views education as a lifelong, holistic and inclusive process. That is why the Company’s education programs extend to toddlers, through the establishment of daycare centers; children and adolescents, through the building of schools and the provision of teachers, learning tools and instructional equipment; adults, through literacy programs; and parents, through seminars on gender sensitivity and responsible parenthood. TVIRD also makes sure that affected communities are fully knowledgeable about our operations and activities, as well as about the mining industry in general, through intensive information-education-communication campaigns, which have resulted in growing positive interest and support from critical stakeholders.
