THE POSITIVE IMPACT ON ADDITIONAL CHILDREN AND ADULTS FOR EACH PESTALOZZI CHILD
Our Approach
PestalozziWorld finds very talented children, TWO GIRLS to every boy, around age 10 in the poorest, hard to reach parts of Asia and Africa, brings them to one of its residential Villages, enrols them in a good secondary school, and eight years later sends them off prepared for success in college.
Our Scholars
Rising up from some of the poorest regions of the globe in nine different countries, PestalozziWorld scholars are earning degrees, landing good jobs, and then helping their families, their communities, and the next generation.
Expanding Our Reach
Using innovative tablet technology, solar power & dozens of PestalozziWorld alumni as educational coaches, PestalozziWorld is accelerating the learning of 4,000 disadvantaged children in refugee camps & villages in rural Zambia with our partner, Edulution.
Zambian Village
In Zambia's capital, Lusaka, we serve 244 students from rural Zambia and Malawi, as well as refugees from Angola, Burundi, Congo, and Rwanda.
Indian Village
At the foothills of the Himalayas in Dehradun, India, we serve 160 students from India, Nepal, and Tibetan refugee camps.
Nepalese Village
In Nepal's second largest city, Pokhara, our newest Village was launched in 2016 and serves 27 students from Nepal.
