What Move The World does

Move The World is a registered UK charity (No. 1170656) founded in 2016 that designs and delivers Global Citizenship Education programmes for young people aged 10 to 15 in peri-urban communities of the Greater Accra region in Ghana. The organisation was established after its founders' 2015 visit to the Dagara Music Centre in Medie and was set up to provide educational tools enabling Ghanaian youth to engage with complex social and environmental challenges. Day-to-day leadership sits with Director Sarah Asiedu, supported by a small core staff of four (including a Community Liaison Officer, Social Media Officer, and M&E Officer), a six-member Board of Trustees, and a network of locally trained facilitators and "Friends of MTW."

The core product is a proprietary Global Citizenship curriculum organised around all 12 UN Sustainable Development Goals and delivered through three interconnected programmes: Get Global (a 7-month experiential learning programme for ages 10-12 covering SDGs 1-6), Get Local (a project-based learning programme for ages 13-15 covering SDGs 7-12 with a community action component), and Training (a facilitator development track for community youth, teachers, and leaders). Delivery occurs through five partner schools in Greater Accra, where locally trained facilitators lead in-person sessions; Get Global alone reached 500 students as of March 2025, and more than 3,000 young people cumulatively since founding across 15 communities.

The revenue model is donation-based, drawing on individual contributions (with suggested tiers of £25, £50, £100, and £250) accepted through the organisation's website and the Global Giving platform, institutional grants from partners including Global Fund for Children, The Cordis Charitable Trust, Oakdale Trust, Souter, GHIB, MIA, Pan African, Pearlston Alternative, and Ashworth, corporate sponsorship, and community fundraising. The organisation lists 10+ named partners across financial, civic, and strategic categories, including a government partnership with Ghana's National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE). Distribution is geographically concentrated: all disclosed operations and beneficiary reach sit within Greater Accra, while the entity is incorporated and registered as a charity in England and Wales.
