WHAT WE DO

No child should live in extreme poverty, yet this is a daily reality for millions of children across Sub-Saharan Africa.

It disproportionately affects children and seeps into every part of their lives, robbing them of their childhood and the things they need most, such as healthcare, education, nutrition, and shelter.

Together with our partners working on the front lines, we invest in immediate support and lasting change through community-owned initiatives that are scalable, sustainable, and rooted in local leadership.

OUR PROVEN APPROACH

We know that education breaks the cycle of poverty. It improves life chances, protects children from harm, and helps them thrive. But a child can only stay in school if they are fed, safe and supported, and that depends on whether caregivers have the means to provide it.

That’s why we invest in both education and entrepreneurship, side-by-side.

Today, we reach around 60,000 people a year, including 45,000 children, through a model that is proven, measurable, and built to last. Delivering impact through local partners, we kickstart pathways for young people to lift themselves out of poverty and empower communities to lead programmes that outlast our involvement.
