Teach a Man to Fish
Leaving a successful banking career in the City of London for a local microfinance institution in Paraguay, Nik discovered an innovative school aiming not only to teach the poor how to become rural entrepreneurs, but to do so as a self-financing social enterprise. Having helped transform this school into a replicable model, and realizing the huge potential for funding education through enterprise rather than charity, he returned to the UK to found Teach A Man To Fish - whose members network now numbers over 1,750 education institutions and experts in more than 110 countries. He holds a first-class BSc in Chemistry from the University of Bristol, a Masters degree in International Development from the School of Oriental & African Studies at the University of London, as well as professional qualifications in finance
