Tara.Ed is an Australian education charity that works in India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Tara means star in Hindi, and the organisation was established to build star teachers, to help students shine. By focusing on teachers rather than students, Tara.Ed aims to promote sustainability in education. Tara.Ed was founded on the question: if one teacher can change 30 lives, what can 30 teachers do?

Tara.Ed was founded in 2008 by NSW Young Australian of the Year Jennifer Star.
