We are making the impossible possible, through education.

We support children in communities experiencing deep educational, gender and economic inequities, where investments in education accelerate positive change.

Our Literacy Portfolio develops children’s literacy skills and nurtures a love of reading — enabling them to pursue lifelong learning and make informed decisions. We create quality curriculum and children’s book content in local languages, train and coach educators, and establish enriching learning spaces that enable children to become independent readers.

Our Gender Equality Portfolio supports all adolescents, particularly girls, to develop life skills that promote gender equality — enabling them to pursue lifelong learning and make informed decisions. We improve the availability of quality curriculum and content, skilled and supported educators, and enriching learning spaces. Our life skills curriculum focuses on five key skills — collaboration, resilience, leadership, decision-making and critical thinking.

Across our programming, we partner with educators and local communities to implement innovative and dignified learning approaches for children, enabling them to pursue lifelong learning and make informed decisions. We also collaborate with government, social and private sector partners to enhance and transform learning systems to benefit the most children, as quickly as possible.
