History of the Organization
In February 2000, Dr. Jennifer G. Bailey convened a group of like-minded volunteers, launched the Bailey Institute, and formed the first Board of Trustees. Even then, technology was already affordable and accessible. Ever since Dr. Bailey herself coined the phrase, "Technology: the 21st century's gift to poor" members of Bailey Institute have committed to use technology to eradicate illiteracy, foster workforce preparation, economic prosperity and improve the lives they touch.TDEP and How Our Program Works
The Technology-Driven Education Project (TDEP) is Bailey Institute's global model founded on committed partnerships that apply diverse technologies to quickly and cost-effectively eradicate illiteracy, advance education and foster workforce development and GDP growth.
