Helping people to help themselves
Education represents a powerful tool for generating jobs, improving incomes, and expanding the opportunities available to young people in developing countries.

TeachAManToFish works to support schools and education programs in developing countries to offer a better quality, financially sustainable education to the most needy.

We want to make the benefits of a vocational education open to all who want it, and support those organisations who share this aim.

To facilitate knowledge sharing we have also established a free-to-join international network of schools & partner NGOs committed to sustainable approaches to tackling rural poverty.

The 'Education That Pays For Itself' Model - A Focus on Self-Sufficiency

Practising what we preach
Creating jobs requires creating entrepreneurs. We believe that the most successful institutions at producing graduates equipped for running their own businesses are those that themselves take an entrepreneurial approach to managing their programmes.

Raising school income
By incorporating production into the educational process not only can students gain a first-hand knowledge of the subjects they study, but useful income can be generated to finance academic overheads.

A realistic long-term goal
Could a school eventually be 100% financially self-sufficient? Yes!

Our first school, the San Francisco Agricultural High School in Paraguay is now covering all of its operational costs in this way - including depreciation! - while meeting internationally recognised standards for excellence in education.

Supporting Schools & Education Programs

What can we do for you?
The TeachAManToFish international network offers schools and education programs a chance to interact with other institutions interested in financial sustainability - to share innovations and spread best practise.
