Pestalozzi Asian Children's Village -
an exciting new chapter! Please

latest brochure on the Asian Village here.

The
PestalozziWorld website has been designed by Pestalozzi Overseas to explain
how
a few people can make a big difference!
The Problem
-
Desperate poverty in areas of rural Asia and Africa.
-
Emergency relief does not tackle long term problems.
-
Communities are locked in a cycle of poverty and dependency.
The Solution
-
Support education for especially bright
children in these communities.
-
A broad and practical education develops
well balanced, responsible adults.
-
These adults then pass on their new
skills to the rest of the community and establish their own Pestalozzi
Foundations.
Please
browse this site to learn more about us,
our work in Africa
and Asia and the Pestalozzi method
of education ("head, heart and hands"). Please contact
us if you have questions. Thank you.
PestalozziWorld
Johann Pestalozzi was one of the founders of modern educational methods.
His name appears on many educational institutions throughout the world.
For example, he inspired the establishment of a village for refugees in
Switzerland after the Second World War. This along with a second village
in England was later opened to underprivileged children from developing
countries. There are also other groups trying to help children help themselves
- please follow the links here to find
out more about them.
Over the last 15 years three specific trusts have been established under
the Pestalozzi Overseas banner - Pestalozzi Overseas Children's Trust
(POCT) in the UK, Pestalozzi US Children's Charity Inc. (PUSCCI) in the
US and POCT Ireland. The trusts sponsor the secondary education of particularly
talented, but underprivileged children. These, together with Foundations
established in the countries of Africa and Asia (by former beneficiaries
who want to help others), make up the overseas organisation
and are the principal focus of this website.
