We are committed to supporting teachers and their pupils: on streets, in refugee camps, slums or in remote villages. In South Asia, Learning for Life provides pre-primary education for younger children, and vocational training for those who are a little older. In the UK, we work with primary schools and youth groups to help children understand the hardships affecting their fellow pupils in South Asia, as well as things that make them smile and dream. We aim to increase our impact both directly on the ground through our partner organisations, and indirectly by creating networks, promoting and sharing best practice in the field and in our offices.
 
Above all, we aim to be transparent, accountable, effective, innovative and creative. As an organisation in an ever-changing political world, through our learning from the field, we are constantly evolving. We conduct research, analysis, evaluation and dissemination with all our projects and enhance our partners' capacities to do the same both nationally and internationally. We monitor project progress collaboratively, through regular field visits by Learning for Life staff and independent evaluators. We also help our partners to strengthen their own monitoring and evaluation skills so they can better measure and understand the positive impacts of their work. Our team - partners, donors, staff, volunteers and trustees - are vital components, without whose cooperation our vision would remain incomplete.
