Pestalozzi International is dedicated to transforming the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in Africa and Asia. We provide comprehensive, holistic education that empowers these young minds to become future leaders and changemakers and pave the way for social mobility and economic growth. Our work impacts not just individual lives but entire communities.

Pestalozzi International was founded in 2024 due to a strategic merger between two organisations with a shared vision and long history of educational excellence and impact —Pestalozzi World Children’s Trust (PW) and Pestalozzi International Foundation (PIF). 

At the heart of Pestalozzi International is the belief that every child, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are inspired by the educational philosophy of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, which emphasises the development of the "Head, Heart, and Hands." This approach ensures that our students receive a well-rounded education that nurtures intellectual, emotional, and practical skills, preparing them for a lifetime of meaningful contributions to society.
