In August 2022, QS ImpACT Charity launched their first ever Live ImpACT Program connecting our council community in Niger to a youth team at Alt Valley Community in Liverpool, England. Alt Valley Community Trust, Liverpool is an anchor organisation that makes a significant contribution to the local area, transforming sports centres, libraries, colleges, and community hubs. After 10 weeks of cultural exchange, team building, and learning project management skills, the team built and implemented an English curriculum project. 57 vulnerable children under the age of 7 were educated in Niamey, Niger.
“Through this project I learned that it is possible to impact a community wherever we are. And the collaboration between different organizations creates more impacts than one can imagine and learn a lot about collaboration, teamwork on an international scale.”
Ali Kadri, QS ImpACT Niger Council
“This was a unique opportunity to work with different cultures. Privileged to see the young people grow in competence and confidence.”
Alma Mason, Alt Valley Community Trust
