Key Areas

AWF Resources
AWF Resources are amongst the most popular downloaded on TES, the world's largest teacher resource network. Our latest addition to the TES website is on Global Citizenship, facilitating students at all levels working through this website on lesson plans that actively engage them in global citizenship through a broad range of disciplines and interacting with young people from all over the world.
Education Provision
Provision of educational courses at all our project bases is free to local people and we are particularly keen to facilitate full time education to all children working in and around our project bases. The Plant a Tree, Fund a Dream programme is key to our work in this area.
