Connecting Knowledge, Skills and Community Opportunity

The Trust’s programme direction brings together education, rural development, agriculture, skills, enterprise, culture and community participation as connected dimensions of social development.

PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES

Programmes Begin with People

Each area of work is ultimately connected to people: children seeking learning opportunities, young people building skills, women participating in livelihoods, farmers strengthening productive activity and communities preserving knowledge and culture. The emphasis is therefore on capability, participation and locally relevant opportunity.
PEOPLE-CENTRED FOCUS
  • Children and learners
  • Young people
  • Women and families
