Our Focus on Education

The problem: UNESCO reports that between 250 and 272 million children are currently out of school worldwide, 78M of primary school age.  Our programs respond to this crisis by meeting one of the most basic barriers to education: access to school materials.

Our Goal

Our goal is to ensure that every child who lives in extreme poverty has access to the resources they need for an education. We are committed to exploring every responsible avenue to achieve this, starting with the basics, providing school materials and taking every opportunity to make meaningful impact.

Global Reach

Our commitment to global education comes from a deep sense of service to those most in need. We focus on children in remote and extremely poor communities—places too often overlooked, where education can restore opportunity and ensure their voices remain part of the global story.
