Overview

1:1 Impact Initiative

In 2025, the organisation launched the 1:1 Impact initiative as part of its commitment to global education and community empowerment. This initiative empowers exchange students to contribute to global causes during their exchange experience. Students can choose between three transformative projects:

• 1:1 Student: Funding a year of schooling for one student in The Gambia.
• 1:1 Teacher: Supporting the salary of a special needs teacher in Tanzania.
• 1:1 Soccer Field of Trees: Responsibly planting the equivalent of one soccer field of trees in Tanzania.
