Mission Statement

We offer child-centred education to disadvantaged children in the Global South, supporting economic growth and social mobility. Recognising the uniqueness of every child's fullest potential, we educate beyond the classroom to develop future-oriented vocational skills and nurture emotional, social and mental well-being. This education for life creates self-reliant adults with the moral confidence to contribute meaningfully to their communities and as global citizens.

About This Cause

Imagine a world where every child’s innate talents, empathy, and rich diversity of lived experience are nurtured. Where education instils the power to make informed decisions, fuels the fire of ambition, and inspires everyone to shape a brighter tomorrow for all humanity. At Pestalozzi International, we can – and want to achieve it with you. Pestalozzi International is dedicated to transforming the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in the Global South. We provide comprehensive, holistic education that empowers these young minds to become future leaders and changemakers, paving the way for social mobility and economic growth. High School completion rates in the areas of Zambia, India and Nepal we select from are as low as 3%. Recognising the uniqueness of every child's fullest potential, we educate beyond the classroom to develop future-oriented vocational skills and nurture emotional, social and mental well-being. Our approach provides for a future generation of compassionate global citizens equipped with the ‘Head, Heart and Hands’ to define their lives according to their potential, not their backgrounds. We see a tomorrow where every child’s innate talents, empathy, and rich diversity of lived experience are nurtured. Where education instils the power to make informed decisions, fuels the fire of ambition, and inspires everyone to shape a brighter tomorrow for all humanity. The children and young people who join our programmes demonstrate exceptional potential despite facing significant challenges. Many are girls and refugees from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our rigorous selection process ensures that we reach those most in need, helping them transform their futures and, in turn, the futures of those around them. Our flagship Future Leaders Programme offers residential scholarships to the brightest children from disadvantaged rural backgrounds. These students receive a high-quality, child-centred education and live in a supportive, nurturing environment on a Pestalozzi Campus. The Future Leaders Programme equips students with the skills they need to become leaders and changemakers in their communities. Together, we are nurturing the next generation of leaders and changemakers. "Growing up in a refugee camp, I faced many challenges.
