What we do We take professionals from UK and European organisations out to rural locations in Uganda and Bangladesh. Participants live & work with local communities, taking part in programmes combining leadership development & corporate responsibility .

Leadership development Participants experience life in the developing world, and must take stock of their own abilities, knowledge and skills. As a result, we gain remarkable new insights into what it takes to be a leader .

Corporate responsibility Immersed in a myriad of sustainability challenges , participants have a unique opportunity to look deeply at the impacts & influence that their own organisations have on the environment & society .
