Our Impact

Over the years, the continued support of incredible individuals, schools and partners have allowed us to achieve incredible results. Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve reached thousands of children from some of the most remote and marginalised communities in the world with the quality education they deserve - even through the pandemic.

You can read our latest Annual Report for a detailed account of how you’ve made a difference, or donate today to keep transforming lives.

Impact in action: Juna's Story

Nepal teacher smiles at camera.

Teacher, Nepal

Juna is 20 years old and from a remote village in Nepal. When we built a school near her community, Juna was recruited and trained as a local teacher. Now she teaches the kindergarten class at the school, having received early years training from education specialists.

Despite being the youngest teacher at the school, Juna is determined to have a positive impact. Plastic is a major environmental issue for many rural communities in Nepal, as they often do not have access to the infrastructure to dispose of the growing amount of single-use plastic packaging.

Juna has been teaching her students how to re-use plastic, creating hanging baskets made out of bottles to decorate the school. Juna's innovation and determination for change is a real inspiration to her students and her community.
