Overview
We believe that everyone has a voice, and always give space and opportunity to a sponsor, a child, an intern, or a volunteer to impact and influence the projects we develop and deliver in our 4 countries. We collaborate and co-create with local partners to ensure that we can implement fast and design solutions that are impactful and sustainable for the children and their communities. Our organization mainly consists of professionals with corporate and entrepreneurial backgrounds, who voluntarily dedicate time and resources to make a difference for approximately 4-5,000 children and their communities. We focus on 3 areas: Education Entrepreneurship Partnerships Education is where we invest most of our time. We honestly believe that education of children and women are the ground pillar in developing societies towards giving individuals and families the opportunities to live a better and more prosperous life. Developing entrepreneurial skills is essential for our children, families, and communities, to become self-sustainable. We invest in business education and building local businesses to ensure a continuous development in the local communities where we are involved. Our focus on partnerships is dual. Through corporate partnerships, we can build meaningful connections across borders, between corporations wanting to invest more purposefully and local communities in need. Our projects in local societies are always done in collaboration with local partners, to ensure that we avail local resources and help building capacity in the communities where we engage. At least 80% of the donations that we receive from families and corporate sponsors goes directly to our children and their families.
