At PestalozziWorld, we celebrate both the impact on our Alumni’s lives, as well as the social change they bring to the world. Our Alumni are today a new generation of teachers, health professionals, entrepreneurs, aid workers and leaders who are equipped with the tools they need to change the world, together.
Impact
273 Alumni graduated
137 currently being educated
High School completion rates for the poorest rural communities are just 13% in India and 10% in Nepal (UNESCO UIS 2019z).
By contrast, 95.9% of Pestalozzi children graduate with many being class toppers.
94% of our Alumni go on to achieve a Tertiary Qualification. All the more remarkable given our support finishes after school, and the majority are girls. They hold Advanced Diplomas, Bachelors, Masters or PhDs — with many more still actively in education.
The Head, Heart and Hands education model we embrace, emphasises care and compassion - inspiring our students not only to go far in their chosen careers but also to give back to their communities.
As our Alumni graduate and begin their careers, entire communities benefit from their support.
Creating social change, one student at a time

64%
