At our Women's Center, mothers become entrepreneurs as they make kits to keep girls in school

Uplifting lives. Building a positive future.

We believe it's possible to change the world. Our approach is through quality educational resources for youth in disadvantaged places, innovative literacy programs, access to clean water, and sustainable community-based micro-enterprise for women. In our experience, these four inter-related programs make the greatest difference for the greatest number.

Our work is entirely community based and grassroots, partnering with local teachers, elders, women, students, families, and leaders. We focus on places where we know we make a huge difference in many lives: the rural Maasai regions of Kenya and the rural Amazigh regions of Morocco. Almost all of our programs have been a first-time innovation in their areas. These programs alleviate poverty and build self-reliance, not only locally but with potential for global effects.

All of this is possible because of your support. We're a small organization, and at our scale your donation makes a tremendous difference. Please join us in uplifting lives and building a positive future for all.

What Young People Face

We held essay competitions in both Kenya and Morocco, asking high school students "What are the main challenges facing your generation?" We followed up with events in both countries, with the students speaking to national audiences.

Now we're publishing an anthology of essays, with the book due out at the end of December 2025. We're very excited for you to read the voices of these young people, as they have a lot to say! You might discover that the world is smaller than you thought.

Check back soon for updates.
