Pestalozzi International Village Trust (pestalozzi.org.uk) is an educational charity who’s primary aim has always been to break cycles and change conditions and attitudes that lead to conflict. Today it does this by:
• Providing an excellent education in the UK, in accordance with the Pestalozzi principles (of educating “the Head, Heart and Hands"), and an experience of cultural diversity and global citizenship to young people with marked academic potential, from disadvantaged communities in various parts of the developing world.
• Assisting those disadvantaged communities by instilling in our young people, who leave us well qualified, the ethos of service so that they can support and become advocates for the development of their home communities.
• Fostering international understanding within those source communities, the UK and the wider world.
