Partnering with
local communities

We partner with communities and like-minded organisations to support access to education, sustainable livelihoods, economic empowerment and the awareness and advocacy for the rights and inclusion of all.

We pursue partnerships consistent with our Partnership Principles

Transparency and mutual accountability
Equity and Autonomy
Continuous Learning
Collaboration

Partnerships that empower

We partner in community‑based education and development projects across six countries, directly impacting almost 50,000 people.

This approach is about co‑creating long‑term, measurable social impact. That’s something you can really get behind.

We are committed to building our implementing partners’ capacity in the areas of:

Compliance

With standards of safeguarding and risk management.

Development practice

Growing capability in design, delivery, monitoring & evaluation and long-term sustainability and effectiveness.

Organisational Development

Strengthening organisational governance and risk management alongside donor growth and diversification of income.

1 in 3 children in Western Kenya cannot read a single word.

As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive. 

In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life. 

But, with your help, this can change. 

 

With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond. 

Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
