Success Stories
From teacher training in rural Nepal, to busy Phnom Penh, and everywhere in between, nonprofits and NGOs live their missions through their programs. Our clients consistently share that their programs begin to move differently—participants show up with more confidence, delivery becomes more structured, and the organization itself develops a stronger foundation to build from.
Because when your learning system is clear, everything else becomes clearer too.
We continue to hear from previous clients how their programs and training are moving their participants forward with more confidence, with more structure, and creating a more solid root system within their own organization. Here are a few examples to show we’ve collaborated.
STEAM Teacher Training Nepal
The Gap
Many education initiatives in rural areas focus on curriculum access but overlook creating systems that also develop their teachers.
The Process
Interviewing Sunsar Maya Nepali staff and utilizing other program resources to reference for frameworks and models created by Golestan Colab, an organizational partner, created an aligned sequence for the STEAM teacher training project.
The Results
DG Consultancy brought to life Sunsar Maya’s goal of having more than a one-time workshop but a full year of STEM teacher training for rural government teachers that offered new techniques, peer support, and opportunities to practice their new skills in real time. So far, 160 elementary and middle school teachers from rural schools have attended training, with more planned every month.
“Building an entirely new curriculum to ensure students beyond Sunsar Maya’s classrooms experience learning that is engaging, creative, and designed to build real skills—not just memorization. By training educators to use Sunsar Maya’s methods, we’re deepening our impact.”

Full Picture Audit Global
The Gap
Organizations with strong expertise often develop training programs that grow organically over time, resulting in courses that contain valuable information but lack cohesion, engagement, and clear learning progression.
The Process
Conducting a Full Picture Audit for PPS’ How to Create a Public Market curriculum on-demand course to evaluate learning architecture, engagement strategies, and module sequencing. The audit reviews content alignment with learner outcomes and identifies opportunities to strengthen application-focused learning activities.

LEAD 2.0 Leadership Curriculum United States
The Gap
Disaster response networks rely on strong collaboration between nonprofits, government agencies, and community partners. However, leadership preparation across state and territorial networks varied widely, creating gaps in coordination and succession planning.
The Process

Work with SMEs and Working Group - current, past State/Territory VOAD Leaders
The Result
A standardized leadership training curriculum prepared for delivery through both print and digital platforms, helping strengthen leadership capacity and knowledge continuity across the State/Territory VOAD network with over 168 leaders taking the training.

Curriculum Development & Teacher Professional Learning Zambia
The Gap
Education programs implementing innovative curriculum and eLearning tools often struggle with teacher adoption, particularly when materials must align with national education standards while still working in low-resource environments.
The Process
Collaborated with curriculum teams to revise learning materials aligned with the national syllabus in Zambia. Designed teacher workshops and coaching systems that helped educators integrate blended learning tools while strengthening instructional practices and confidence using technology. reviewed over 150 lessons across four grade levels and early childhood education, developed lesson guides grounded in best practice, and worked closely with the in-house team to strengthen scaffolding, build in recall, and support student engagement throughout. The local team brought deep knowledge of the community and classroom context, and Danielle leaned into that, adapting quickly and keeping everyone moving through a period of significant change.
The Results
150+ lessons improved across four grade levels and early childhood education and 10, 000 students supported across 40+ rural Zambian schools. Since the project completed, the curriculum supported by DG Consultancy has directly enabled the program to scale to over 10,000 students across rural Zambian schools. What Danielle built is still in use, still scaling, and still improving education for Zambian students.
"She was exactly the person we needed at that particular time. She helped us get to where we are today."

Academic Skills Development Course Cambodia
The Gap
Many first-generation university students struggle with the transition into higher education because they have not been taught the academic habits, communication skills, and systems navigation required to succeed.
The Process
With funding from the Asia Foundation, we designed a first-of-its-kind Academic Skills Development Course to complement with the program’s orientation for incoming first year students. The curriculum equips students with learning strategies, time management tools, and academic communication skills needed to confidently navigate university expectations.
The Result
A successful completed pilot for both first and second year students that replaced inconsistent one-on-one advising with a scalable system that prepares incoming students for the demands of higher education while improving confidence, wellbeing, and academic success.
“One of our first year students [told us] when her professor started talking about time management and work load, she said, “Oh I already know all about that.” It’s incredible to see such confidence for a first year student after only taking the first two ASD sessions.”
