Our Big Give campaign is live

For the next two weeks, every donation you make will be doubled.

Be the change today and transform a child’s future

We are thrilled to announce that our Big Give “Be the Change” challenge campaign is officially live. For the next two weeks, every donation you make can be matched, unlocking twice the opportunity, twice the hope, and twice the impact for young people across Africa and Asia.

Why this campaign matters right now
 

In the communities where we work, high-school completion rates can be as low as 3%. Young people face immense barriers, from poverty and gender inequality to a lack of safe, quality education.

Our holistic “Head, Heart & Hands” model provides academic support, emotional well-being tools, and practical vocational skills that help young people stay in school, succeed, and grow into confident leaders.

The Big Give Challenge: How It Works

Because our campaign is live on the Big Give platform, every donation made during the challenge week is matched. That means:

Your £20 becomes £40
Your £50 becomes £100
Your generosity becomes twice as transformational 

Education gives you hope. It gives you the power to change the world.

Being a Pestalozzi scholar means so much more than just receiving an education. It means being part of a global family that believes in inequality, opportunity and making a difference.
