In the charity's own words
We fundraise in the UK for the benefit of teachers in community schools in Zambia who have no access to training and support. We are aiming to improve teachers access to training, resources and information to help them teach children in community schools. This will be through providing funding for training courses, a resource centre and grants for teachers to attend university.
