Regarded as centres of excellence for child-centered care, our Villages allow us to educate children in their country of origin cost effectively.

The children live in small family units with a Housemother who takes care of their material and emotional needs throughout their time in the Village. There are dedicated spaces for the completion of schoolwork, libraries, computer rooms and skills and activities fill the children’s days when they are not at school.

12 different nationalities are represented at the three Pestalozzi Villages contributing to diverse communities, cultural exposure and fostering tolerance.

Our Villages and centres are staffed exclusively by local people. Our expert caregiving staff include trained counsellors, social workers, experienced teachers and Alumni. This is because their understanding of their contexts is vital to caring for the children in culturally appropriate ways and because they best understand how to produce positive outcomes for our children in their countries.
