Activities & Mission

We deliver child-centred education in the Global South for some of the most marginalised children in the world. We are inspired by Johann Pestalozzi's "Head, Heart and Hands" approach, which focuses on developing academic abilities, essential vocational skills and children's confidence. We are "Heart-led" and emphasise nurturing social, emotional, and ethical well-being in all we do.
