Welcoming Partnerships 

Working with innovative organizations around the globe, we seek to identify, test, refine and grow non-obvious solutions to big, obvious problems. We believe that through this work, we can transform the lives of children living in urban poverty today and improve the future for every generation. To help us achieve our goals, we seek global partners who work to:

• Ensure children have access to quality educations
• Encourage healthy behaviors, and provide access to basic health care and services
• Foster stable families through microfinance
