Education is the key for social development

Education has the power to accelerate the achievement of the objectives of the UN2030 Sustainable Development Goals. All children in under-resourced communities including young people (refugees and asylum seekers), deserve access to quality education and skilling. We support schools in limited resource settings to offer access to quality education and empowerment programmes to these communities.

Our responsibilities 

  • Implementation of innovative solutions to make quality education accessible in low-resource settings;
  • Building alliances with government bodies, educational institutions, companies, and donors for supporting partner schools.

Our objectives for social development 

  • Promote access to quality education for children especially girls and and young people people from refugee/asylum seeker communities;
  • Raise awareness of the importance of education;
  • Support the local teams in partner schools so that they can fully benefit from a rewarding working experience.

Generate and manage funds to amplify the impact of support from independent donors, or individuals and companies working with us through Banyan Impact Solutions;
