How We Work

GSL is driven to improve school systems through leadership training. Our support is responsive and adaptable to the cultural and policy context of our partners. Here are a few examples of our recent work across India, Indonesia, Kenya, and Malaysia.

Inspirasi, Indonesia: Adapting our program for the cultural context of a country

Alokit, India: Building immersive remote-support structures in a global pandemic

Pemimpin, Malaysia: Supporting a start-up organization to innovate and scale

Dignitas, Kenya: Collaborating to strenghten and scale an existing program

Improving schools in low & middle-income countries (LMIC) is a complex problem. We know what it takes to make it happen.

We bring deep experience in designing and delivering school leadership training in low and middle-income countries.

Our Expertise

CHERYL

CEO, Pemimpin (Malaysia)

I started Pemimpin GSL in 2017, with little to no experience of how to run an education non-profit in Malaysia. With the help, support and guidance of GSL, we managed to grow the organization starting with just three people to a team of six. We have also expanded our reach, starting with just 25 schools and today at over 60 schools. GSL has helped us strengthen our curriculum, measurement & evaluation and guided us to go further on in our mission to ensure quality education for all children in Malaysia.

Our Goals for 2026

Expand our reach in low and middle income countries

By 2026 our goal is to impact 10 million children across 20 low and middle income countries annually.

Increase our impact by investing in research and data

To reinforce the impact of our program, we aim to improve and increase our research and program M&E efforts.

Develop more online training programs

Delivering our program virtually helps scale our program and expand our footprint.
