Impact Charities is a non-profit
organization that focuses on supporting children's educational attainment by providing teacher training in Africa and India. We do this in conjunction with Impact Teachers
(www.impactteachers.com), a London-based company that recruits qualified
primary and secondary teachers from Canada, Australia and New Zealand to
work in the UK. From this pool of teachers, we are able
to provide volunteer support staff and training for local teachers in
developing countries. These trained teachers from all subject areas,
both primary and secondary, will volunteer their time (usually 1-2 weeks)
and skills during their UK school breaks. It is our belief that by helping
to equip local teachers with the necessary teaching skills, the impact on
the community and on the level of education will be most influential and
sustainable.
How do we do this? We begin with the belief
that every child deserves and has a right to
quality education. We combine this belief
with the goal held by most education
professionals - a desire to make a
difference in the lives of children through
education. This combination is held together
with the understanding that a lasting
contribution comes through increasing and
multiplying capabilities at the local level.
We carry this out in practice by "training
the teachers." |
