Feed the Minds (FTM) is an international development charity that aims to contribute to a world in which people everywhere have the opportunity to live life in all its fullness. FTM supports projects which empower marginalised people in the Global South through our Education for Change programme. Projects are implemented by local non-governmental organisations or community-based organisations working to support marginalised communities. FTM partners range from small organisations new to project management to larger organisations working across several countries.Literacy is central to FTM’s strategy therefore all partners are asked to take literacy into consideration when designing their projects.
