Our Thriving Futures programme, supported by Standard Chartered Foundation, is creating and sustaining 3,660 jobs.

Pioneering innovation
For the last eight years, the British Asian Trust's award-winning Social Finance Unit has been championing outcomes-based finance (OBF) in South Asia.
As pioneers of this approach, we have a proven track record of delivering some of the world's most ambitious OBF initiatives — including the world's largest Education Development Impact Bond.
Our work has mobilised over $50 million for transformative projects in India and Pakistan, in collaboration with over 60 partners, benefiting more than 6.5 million people.
