our mission

We connect people around the world in the fight to end poverty. Working together, we empower children and youth and invest in the supportive environments they need to thrive, so they can forge a path out of poverty.

Your support makes all of this possible. Will you join us on the journey to help more than 218,000 children, youth and their families break free from generational poverty?


By investing in children, together, we have the opportunity to create real, long-lasting change for families and communities around the world.”
