Chief Executive Officer
CurrentWe see a world where every child’s innate talents, empathy, and rich diversity of lived experience are nurtured. Where education instils the power to make informed decisions, fuels the fire of ambition, and inspires everyone to shape a brighter tomorrow for all humanity.We offer child-centred education to disadvantaged children in the Global South, supporting economic growth and social mobility. Recognising the uniqueness of every child's fullest potential, we educate beyond the classroom to develop future-oriented vocational skills and nurture emotional, social and mental well-being. This education for life creates self-reliant adults with the moral confidence to contribute meaningfully to their communities and as global citizens.At our core is the belief that the nurturing bond between mentor and child is the bedrock upon which empathy, ambition, and ethical values are cultivated. These relationships instil the confidence to navigate life's challenges with resilience and determination. Education is more than knowledge: it is a journey of self-discovery, developing curiosity, character, and practical skills. It should be responsive to each child's unique needs, rooted in local cultures and relevant to their societies. The Pestalozzi approach provides for a future generation of compassionate global citizens equipped with the ‘Head, Heart and Hands’ to define their lives according to their potential, not their backgrounds.New PhilanthropyWe invest in Outreach Programmes in partnership with ambitious social enterprises and for profit partners that have the potential to democratise access to excellent education, and derive profits to sustain further investment in social impact.PI UK is the coordinating entity of a family of independently controlled charities, companies and social enterprises.
