Current projects
Our main projects in Uganda, Kenya, Nicaragua and Bolivia aim to mirror the approach used at our Flagship School in Paraguay - offering a high quality education where knowledge is reinforced by building students' practical skills, promoting entrepreneurship and nurturing a 'can do' attitude. We work with local partners to make these schools 100% financially sustainable through establishing school businesses - ensuring our support not only solves problems today, it keeps on working tomorrow!
