Learning for Life

Who we are

Learning for Life enables South Asia's most marginalised populations to gain access to education, health and employment - the basic human rights that form the first, essential step in overcoming poverty.

We work with local partners to provide catch-up education for working children who have never been to school or have dropped out, training for teachers, vocational training and reproductive health services for women, and capacity-building and rights awareness for communities. We provide our local partners, who understand local issues, with the skills and support to help communities set up and manage practical and sustainable projects that meet their real needs.

We aim to be transparent, accountable and innovative. Our track-record of establishing stable, sustainable projects that continue to make a permanent difference, gives us great pride.

Vision and Mission

Learning for Life's vision is of a world where everyone has access to education, health, civil liberties, and safe, sustainable employment.

Learning for Life's mission is to overcome poverty by providing South Asia's poor and oppressed with education and opportunity, as well as to raise awareness of development issues and challenge stereotypes in the UK.
