About Us
Opportunity Education Foundation is an International NGO registered in Tanzania and headquartered in Moshi. OEF was established in 2005 by US entrepreneur, founder, and first CEO of TD Ameritrade Joe Ricketts, after a visit to Tanzania. He came to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and fell in love with the people of Tanzania. He resolved to help, and to do so by improving education for Tanzanian children and youth. OEF works closely with Opportunity Education, a US-based foundation that developed Quest Forward Learning.
