Extensive research guides our investments and highlights areas where we can maximize our impact. Our approach extends well beyond mere financial contributions; we cultivate partnerships, conduct on-the-ground needs assessments, and invest in sustainable, long-term solutions. This hands-on strategy guarantees that our funding effectively addresses genuine needs, creating lasting change for the children we support. Our allocation process isn't solely focused on addressing immediate needs, but also on establishing the groundwork for long-lasting solutions in education, healthcare, advocacy and out-of-school time programs.
