Together we have a greater impact.​

Vision & Mission & Values

What We Do

Empower Schools

We believe that all children and adults no matter where they live, and their socioeconomic status, should receive quality education. Our main goal is to fight illiteracy, which is a plague in developing countries, by improving existing educational infrastructure and by empowering teachers to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge, and thus strengthen communities.

Support Communities

We understand that our support to education will be more effective, if the communities to which the student belong are healthy. We are therefore committed to improve life in communities by providing our support with medical care, foods and raise awareness about matters that may impact the well-being of the communities.
