ISET/One World was created by Humana People to People to provide needed advanced training, offering students a choice of two degree programmes: on education (Pedagogy) and a programme focused on community development called “Fighting with the Poor.”
The graduates of the education programme are qualified to serve as instructors training teachers at Humana People to People colleges and other institutions in Africa. The Humana People to People institutions embrace the ambitions of modernity and are dedicated to spreading knowledge and a contemporary understanding of the world to future generations of primary school students.
To date, ISET/One World has graduated 750 Bachelors of Education.

The degree “Fighting with The Poor” is new and groundbreaking in that it focuses directly on training students in the theory and practice of transformational processes in society, and emphasizes the responsibility of educated people to bring about justice and equality. “Fighting with The Poor” provides students with a deeper understanding of The Poor and the basis of their plight, while raising the personal willingness and ability and readiness of students to fight the good fight side by side with The Poor.

Humana People to People programmes train small-scale farmers in sustainable agriculture practices such as conservation farming, and equips the farmers with knowledge they can use to adjust to the changing conditions. As an integrated part of the training, the farmers get organised around exploring and sharing water resources, securing inputs and marketing of their produce. General knowledge and skills within nutrition, health and community development are also included. This concept is called Farmers' Clubs.
The aim is to provide the farmers with such knowledge and organisational skills that they can respond to the needs of their families and communities today, increase their income, and become integrated in the market economy. In many Farmers' Clubs the majority of the farmers are women. Thus the Farmers' Clubs can also be regarded as a gender programme, empowering the women, and it includes many club activities, which also focus on the well-being of the whole family with regard to water and sanitation, nutrition, health and education.

The agriculture training of the farmers depends on the local conditions: some concentrate on crop husbandry, others on animal husbandry, some with irrigation, others pure dry-land farming. The farmers are organised in groups of 250 farmers with one project leader, who provides the agriculture training in practice and theory. The project leader also facilitate the organisation of the farmers and trains them in self-organising, so that lasting structures are built among them.
National agriculture extension services are integrated in the programmes for mutual benefit - the farmers learn from the extension workers, and the extension system is reinforced in a dynamic exchange.

The Humana People to People programme trains teachers to be capable of working in the rural setting and willing to do so, under the given conditions and with the ambition of creating change for the better.
Humana People to People member organisations train 5.000 teachers per year at 53 Teacher Training Colleges in Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, DR Congo, Guinea Bissau and India, in co-operation with the Ministries of Education and as an integrated part of the education system, complementing government efforts and contributing to innovation and development of teacher training.
The teacher is a part of the community where the school is situated, and creates good relations to all sides; to the children, to the colleagues in the school, to the parents, and to the local leaders.

The Humana People to People teacher training concept places the teacher trainee at the centre of his own education with the opportunity and the responsibility to acquire knowledge, skills and competences. At the same time, the training is based on team work and social responsibility within a group, which gives a strong combination of developed individuality and collectivity.
Extensive practice in the primary school forms part of the education and is linked to studies within the subject areas of the national curriculum. Practice and theory meet in a dialectic process and enrich the learning.
At the end of 2015, 25.000 teachers had been trained and approximately 80% of them are working in rural schools. This is an achievement, meaning that the training of teachers for the rural primary schools contributes substantially to reaching the goals of universal primary education with quality.
