Our approach & values

We believe we can create a sustainable transformation of society by expanding access to and improving the quality of education and training, with an emphasis on refugees and communities affected by conflict and marginalisation.

Around the world, there are individuals, families, and entire communities that have been forced to flee life-threatening situations.

The global refugee population has doubled over the last decade. Whether it be due to conflicts of war, or religious, racial, or political persecution, there are millions of people displaced whose lives have been forever changed.

The impacts of displacement on schooling and education are immense. Individuals who have been displaced often face greater poverty and discrimination than they did in their home countries. This, compounded with the interruption of schooling, results in a large number of children being denied access to and participation in quality education.

Our policies

To make sure our values are put into practice, we have key policies that are followed by all of our staff, volunteers, trustees, consultants, and visitors. They apply to all the countries in which we work.

Our trustees review our policies regularly to make sure they are clear and comprehensive. As a learning organisation, we work hard to make sure anything that needs improving is quickly addressed. When the context in which we work changes, or when the regulatory framework changes, we always update our policies accordingly.
