Partner with Helios

Some problems require funding.
All problems require knowledge.

Helios welcomes collaboration with organisations whose objectives intersect with education, financial capability, youth development and human empowerment.

Why partner

Resources enable programmes.
Knowledge strengthens what they become.

Effective social initiatives require more than financial support.

They depend on relevant knowledge, thoughtful programme design, local understanding, capable delivery and relationships built around a shared purpose.

Helios welcomes partnerships that combine these different forms of capacity — bringing together resources, expertise, institutions and experience to strengthen educational and human-development initiatives.

What partnership can enable

Collaboration can take
different forms.

01Programme sponsorship

Supporting programmes
where they are needed.

Financial support can enable the delivery and development of financial-literacy, educational and human-development programmes.

02Knowledge partnership

Expertise can strengthen
what people learn.

Partners can contribute technical expertise, educational materials, trainers, research or specialist knowledge that strengthens programme content and delivery.

03Geographical expansion

A concept should travel
with humility.

Educational approaches cannot simply be copied from one place to another.

Economic realities, institutions, culture, language, opportunity and the experiences of young people differ from one community to the next.

Helios' longer-term ambition is therefore not simply expansion.

It is adaptation — developing approaches that can travel while remaining responsive to the context in which they are used.

Principles can travel.
Programmes must adapt.
04Institutional collaboration

Institutions can build
what none could build alone.

Helios welcomes opportunities to develop initiatives with educational institutions, NGOs, public bodies and other organizations whose objectives align with its purpose.

05Research & measurement

Evidence strengthens
future programmes.

Research and evaluation partnerships can help strengthen programme measurement, evidence of outcomes and the continuing development of educational approaches.

A shared process

Good partnerships begin
with the right questions.

01 PurposeWhat problem or opportunity are we trying to address?
02 ContextWho is the initiative intended to serve, and what realities shape their environment?
03 ContributionWhat knowledge, resources, networks or institutional capacity can each partner contribute?
04 LearningHow will experience and evidence help improve what comes next?
Research & measurement

Partnership can strengthen
not only delivery,
but understanding.

Research, monitoring and evaluation can help organizations understand whether programmes are reaching the intended participants, whether learning is taking place and how future initiatives can be improved.

Helios welcomes knowledge partnerships that can contribute to stronger programme evaluation and evidence of outcomes.

Institutional collaboration

Local knowledge.
Institutional capacity.
Shared purpose.

Some challenges benefit from collaboration across sectors.

Educational organizations bring learning environments.

Universities and researchers bring specialist knowledge.

Financial institutions can contribute technical expertise.

Foundations and responsible businesses can help provide resources and networks.

NGOs and public institutions contribute local understanding, infrastructure and relationships.

The opportunity lies in combining those strengths around a clearly defined educational purpose.
