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."
