About us
We do not provide aid. We believe that people can only break the cycle of poverty if they are given the information, skills, and confidence to make changes themselves.
The solutions don’t need to be complicated or expensive. We work with partners and communities to find creative, low-cost and practical ways, using local resources, to bring about lasting change.
We work to ensure that children in highly deprived communities in Ghana and Uganda receive quality education and care in their early years - the age that makes such a big difference to their future development.
Working through government partnerships, we train and empower uneducated mothers to run educational Play Schemes that improve the lives and life-chances of children, the mothers and the wider community.
A world in which all children have the opportunities to develop their skills and talents and are given the chance to reach their full potential in life.
To get preschoolers in rural Ghana and Uganda school-ready.
We use local talent and local resources so that our programmes can be run and sustained by resource-poor local governments and by communities themselves.
We have a high-performance culture. We go the extra mile to get the very best and sustainable result.
We have a culture of collaboration. We work with deprived, rural communities to help them gain what they want and need for themselves and their children.
Creativity can solve many problems
We have a culture of creative & continuous improvement. We believe in the creative use of local resources and lively minds helps us tackle complex problems with cheap and simple solutions.
As well as managing our resources with scrupulous care, we have a culture of holding ourselves, our partners and beneficiaries accountable for commitments.
We empower others. We give parents, local government officials, teachers and community leaders the skills, knowledge and motivation to make their own choices and changes.
Equity benefits everyone
We are committed to ensuring that within our work and our organisation, we do all we can to improve diversity, inclusivity and equality of opportunity.
