Training and consultancy
Our training and consultancy packages provide intensive face-to-face training, resources and guidance to suit each school or organisation's priorities and context. Our services can be delivered in person and remotely.
"What seemed like a distant dream last year is now taking shape. It’s still in the early stages, but it’s moving forward. We couldn’t have achieved this level of structure and success so quickly without such a detailed programme. It’s been invaluable.”
Zeenath Whitcomb, co-founder The Rise Upliftment Project, South Africa. Once entirely reliant on international donations, The Rise Upliftment Project is now 80% self-sufficient, with plans to reduce dependence on external funding further.

Tailored Training and Consultancy in Thailand
Over a 2-year period, we worked with Save The Children to support under -resourced Migrant Learning Centres on the Thai-Burmese border to develop income generation activities to supplement donor-funding.
After twelve months of running an organic egg business with our assistance, one Learning Center had gained additional support from the community and started covering some of their running costs.
"This year we lost 20% of the funding for the rental cost of our learning center. We had to save money, but it is difficult for us because half of parents cannot pay school fees. With the school business we now know how to keep chickens and how to produce our own organic feed. We've made a profit of over 2,000 Thai Baht ($65) and now want to build a duck farm or a shop!"
- Mi Seil Khamar Chan, Headteacher
