Change through education
We work with 10 schools, providing meals, educational resources and sanitary products that enable pupils to learn on full stomachs and with dignity. So far, we’ve helped more than 3500 young people access education. Olivia (above) goes to Bagri Junior High and appreciates the monthly sanitary pads provision:
“It helps us come to school. We girls are much happier.”
Change through enterprise
We have backed 140 small businesses with grants, training and mentoring, enabling them to become sustainable and profitable. Sixty girls (including 9 with disabilities) have learnt a trade through our apprenticeship scheme. Barikisu (above) runs one of 29 ATE-backed dry season farms:
“ATE gave me all I needed to succeed.”
Change through inclusion
We bringing disabled children into the light, challenging stigma and enabling them to learn and laugh. Our SNAP disability project supports 750 children and carers across 8 locations, providing education, equipment, medication, advocacy and lots of joy. Tierto (above, with Julita and Charles) says:
“The main reason I love SNAP meetings is I know I am not alone. I have learnt new things, I worry much less, life has improved.”

We're so proud of Izzy Tolputt for her Head of 6th Form Award!
She's been recognised for going above and beyond in her wonderful work supporting Action Through Enterprise. Izzy did her work experience with us last year - she wrote an amazing article about period poverty and raised over £700 for sanitary pads, but didn't stop there! She's gone on to raise awareness about our work through assemblies at St Johns, and is now heading to Ghana in August to get involved in our work on the ground! She's an inspiration. Well done Izzy, we're so grateful for all you do.
