Our mission
Our mission is to empower some of the world’s most vulnerable children by providing opportunities to heal, learn and grow. Our projects and programmes contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
AMF believes that learning cannot take place in a vacuum, and so takes a holistic, whole-child approach to education by complimenting school programmes with interventions focused on wellness, mental health, and nutrition.
Keeping children in school is our primary means of reducing inequalities. In offering a safe space for education we hope to provide a ‘level playing field’ where talent is recognised and nurtured and inequalities in health and nutrition are addressed.
We support the creation and development of tailored educational settings and methodologies to provide displaced and refugee children with the highest quality, and most situationally appropriate, learning opportunities.
We promote best practice in order to help build strong institutions, addressing widespread problems through research projects. These studies rely upon thorough research and academic rigour to recommend realistic and reasonable practical interventions which can be understood and applied by all staff.
We support vocational training programmes which help young adults apply their academic skills and creative interests to the world of work. Through university scholarships we aim to convert academic learning in school into the basis for a worthwhile career.
We actively seek partners which are the best connected and most efficient, knowing that these will not always be the best-known. We look to work with people who know their communities and have the connections to ‘get the job done’ in challenging circumstances.
