Pestalozzi is a UK-based charity with more than 60 years’ experience of offering life-changing opportunities to young people from underprivileged communities around the world. Pestalozzi provides scholarships for exceptional 16-19-year old’s who are academically bright, but have limited educational prospects in their home countries. In recent years our students have come from Nepal, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Belize, Uganda and Tibetan Communities in Exile. These young people have all demonstrated their enthusiasm for helping to make a difference in their communities. Pestalozzi students live for two years in a multi-cultural, multi-faith community, where they welcome difference and embrace diversity. They study for the International Baccalaureate Diploma and undertake a broad range of extra-curricular activities, gaining a holistic education focused on the Pestalozzi principles of educating the Head, Heart and Hands. Pestalozzi scholarships give these young people an opportunity they would not otherwise receive – the chance to develop their potential, become empowered, pursue their dreams and go on to make a difference in the world. Pestalozzi also provides alumni access to seed funding through the Pestalozzi Development Fund, which enables them to set up projects or activities that benefit their own or other developing communities, helping them to realise their potential and make a greater positive impact in the world.
