How You Can Help
PestalozziWorld
is now sponsoring the education of some 350 bright children from very
poor backgrounds in Africa and Asia. Our vision is to double that number
within the next few years, reaching out into new countries and different
parts of our existing countries.
It costs US$1,000 or about £600 to sponsor each child for a year. This covers not just their secondary education but also their accommodation at Pestalozzi centres during term-time, where they learn valuable social and vocational skills.
All the funds we raise go directly to supporting the children selected by PestalozziWorld – our modest administrative costs are covered by the trustees or by investment income. We are totally dependent on the support and commitment of individuals in Europe and the USA and the funds they help raise, and of a small number of companies and grant-giving trusts.
Please consider supporting us. Your gift will have an ongoing benefit, because the beauty of the Pestalozzi approach is the ripple effect (Circles of Success) it has on the developing world – today’s underprivileged but gifted children become tomorrow’s leaders and educators. A regular monthly, quarterly or annual gift is particularly valuable as it enables us to plan ahead.
PestalozziWorld is a registered charity/not-for-profit in the UK, Ireland and the USA and there are various ways in which you can give tax-efficiently.
