Leave a legacy
Your gift enables a positive future for marginalised children
Give a gift that will be remembered forever
A gift in your will is something truly special. It is a way to ensure that future generations of young people will have the chance to shape brighter futures, not just for themselves but for their communities.
By including Pestalozzi International in your will, you help nurture the next generation of leaders and changemakers, just as you always have—by believing in their potential and offering them the opportunity to thrive.
Why leave a legacy?
At Pestalozzi International, we give children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the education and support they need to become self-reliant adults and compassionate leaders. Your legacy can ensure that this important work continues, offering young people the skills and confidence they need to make a difference.
A gift in your will can:
- Provide education for future leaders: 2000.- could help cover a full year of care and education for a student in one of our programs.
- Create opportunities for connection and growth: A percentage of your estate could help fund technology to connect our alumni, allowing them to share knowledge and bring about positive change together.
- Give the brightest children a chance: 10’000.- could help us find and support young people from refugee camps and underserved communities to join our transformative programmes.
Your support writes success stories
"Everyone whom I’ve known through Pestalozzi makes me so happy; inspires me; you’re all family... Thank you for making me the person I am today!"
Despite the disadvantaged environment in which she grew up, Aswathy acquired a master’s degree in clinical epidemiology and is now even pursuing a PhD. In addition, she continues to be an active volunteer, always motivated to give back. Her story exemplifies the power of a Pestalozzian education, fostering positive change way beyond the individual graduate.
Your Legacy: Turning hope into opportunity
People like Aswathy, who grew up in poverty, now lead the way in their communities as lawyers, educators, and advocates for change. By leaving a gift in your will, you become part of that journey—helping young people unlock their potential and inspiring them to build better futures for themselves and others.
By including Pestalozzi International in your will, you’re not just leaving a gift—you’re leaving a legacy that will help shape future generations of leaders and changemakers. You’ll be remembered in the lives of young people whose futures are brighter because of your generosity.

How to leave a legacy
Leaving a gift in your will is a simple but profound way to continue supporting the causes you care about. You can choose to leave:
- A percentage of your estate after your loved ones have been provided for.
- A fixed sum of money to help transform a young person’s life.
- A specific item such as property, shares, or possessions.
Updating your will to include a gift to Pestalozzi International can be done easily with the help of your solicitor. You might want to consider adding a codicil if you already have a will in place.
