TeachAManToFish
was born out of the pioneering work of the Fundación
Paraguaya - a large Latin American NGO committed to poverty
reduction through supporting small businesses.
Working in rural settings, particularly
in agriculture, proved extremely challenging. Small-scale
farmers were often skilled in production yet constantly ran
into financial difficulties because they lacked basic business
skills.
The opportunity to manage an agricultural
school that had run into funding difficulties offered a way
of plugging this skills gap.
With no support from the state, and unpredictable
funding from donors, it soon became obvious that for the school
to survive as a long-term proposition it would have to be
able to generate its own funds.
On track for full financial self-sufficiency,
and having received international recognition for the quality
of education delivered, the time was right to bring these
ideas before a wider audience.
Teaming up with a UK group passionate about
the role of education in poverty reduction, TeachAManToFish
was born - and is now busy creating an international network
of schools & education programs committed to sustainable approaches
to tackling rural poverty.
