Our Key Causes

Transformative Education

01

We are committed to working for access to quality education for all children, especially girls, from foundational learning to secondary levels. Working together with children, families, communities, and governments, we test various solutions to ensure equitable access to education, documenting these efforts to advocate children’s access to their fundamental right to a free and quality education.

Sustainable livelihood and futuristic skills

02

We are dedicated to fostering sustainable livelihoods by empowering marginalized communities, especially young people and women. Our comprehensive approach equips them with innovative, futuristic market-driven skills, alongside crucial digital and financial literacy. We provide ongoing mentoring, coaching for market linkages and job placements enabling them to seek dignified and sustainable work.

Emergencies, Food Security and Climate Change

03

We work with affected communities to find creative ways to build resilience against disasters, shocks and impacts of climate change. We take a human rights based approach to disasters, climate change and building resilience so that the communities have the capacity to absorb shocks and uncertainties, recover after disasters and adapt to climate change.

Community Empowerment for Public Services

04

We believe in universal, free public services as a fundamental right of people. Our programs and strategies empower people we work with to analyze, reflect and take action to ensure their meaningful participation in the governance processes and holding duty bearers to account to plan and deliver the essential public services like health, education, protection and safeguarding.
