Our mission is to contribute to transforming the life chances of children in developing countries through our Brighter Futures programme. We achieve this by delivering Transformational Teacher Training and Creating Playful Schools, and influencing policy and practice.

The Transformational Teacher Training Programme is a highly innovative and impactful teacher training approach, drawn directly from Ghana's government strategy. To date 8,562 practising kindergarten teachers, head teachers and student teachers have been trained to deliver active and play-based learning.

Through a nine-year partnership with international design and engineering firm Arup, we have developed, evaluated, optimised and replicated a safe, sustainable model kindergarten school that meets the needs of the Ghana government’s early-childhood care and development policy. The 19 schools already completed have won domestic and international recognition as some of the very best kindergarten schools in Ghana.

The Fast-track Transformational Teacher Training Programme has been selected as one of the three winners of the UNESCO-Hamdan bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Prize for Outstanding Practice and Performance in Enhancing the Effectiveness of Teachers 2017-2018.
