It can delight us, inspire us, and unite us around a common goal – to create a world of opportunity for everyone.
OUR STRATEGY
What guides our work
Poverty is nearly impossible to escape on one’s own. Our approach focuses on four interconnected areas that build stronger individuals and communities.
Health
Quality medical care is essential for children to grow up strong. We work to improve all aspects of healthcare – from pre- and postnatal care to nutrition and disease prevention.
Safety
No matter where they are in the world, children should live freely and safely. We help children find safe places to stay when disaster or violence threaten their homes.
Education
We provide learning opportunities, including early childhood education, STEAM learning, vocational training and college prep, so children are prepared to thrive in adulthood.
Empowerment
We teach children and young adults leadership and decision-making skills so they’re able to make the most of opportunities and realize their dreams.
We envision a just world free from poverty.
So far, we’ve changed the lives of 35 million children and families with the help of millions of supporters just like you.
