Teach A Man To Fish

Teach A Man To Fish is guided by a simple, all-encompassing mission: to empower young people with the skills they need to succeed, in school, work, and life.

Through our programmes, we work with educators and young people around the world to set up youth-led enterprises which are both educational and profitable. We equip educators with skills and resources to help young people gain practical business experience and to develop essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication and problem-solving through business planning and implementation. We aim to tackle an important and global issue with our work - there are more than 71 million young people unemployed worldwide (International Labour Organisation 2018). The skills and experience our young entrepreneurs gain help them to learn better, continue in education, secure a decent job or set up their own business when they leave school. Ultimately, our programmes provide tools for young people to adapt to an ever-changing world, and give them the confidence to seize the opportunities that are around them.

Since 2006, we’ve created over 370,000 young entrepreneurs and 19,000 enterprising educators through our global programmes.
