Who we are
Mission
Our mission is to disrupt the cycle of extreme poverty through the power of quality education.
Yes, we build schools, but that is not enough. To create lasting change, you also have to reach children early, train teachers, deeply engage parents, stock libraries and expand access to education after primary school. So, we do all of that too, and that’s our difference.
Vision
We envision a world where all children can start school ready to learn, master foundational literacy skills in primary school, and gain the digital and life skills in lower secondary school that equip them with skills to chart a path out of extreme poverty.
Our Values
Our Story
From the very beginning, I relied on local talent and listened more than I spoke. By learning from and partnering with local NGOs, governments, and the people of the community, we’ve been able to grow and expand at an exponential rate.
