IMPROVING OUTCOMES
While enrollment in public and private schools has increased in India, the country still struggles with improving the quality of education. At the foundation, we’re working closely with government and private schools to create affordable, high-quality options to improve learning outcomes for children.
One of our founders’ original goals for the foundation was to ensure that disadvantaged students have the same opportunity to get to and graduate from college or university.
Financial stability can help families break the cycle of poverty and ensure better health and education for their children.
Our goal is to improve the health and wellness of all children while building demand for healthy options.
Grants & impact investing
Working with innovative organizations around the globe, we seek to identify, test, refine and grow non-obvious solutions to big, obvious problems. Since 1999, we have committed $1.38 billion to non-profits and social enterprises in the United States, India and South Africa.
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.
