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, with lasting change.

Our work is community based and grassroots, through deep relationships with 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 Amazigh regions of Morocco. Almost all of our programs have been a first-time innovation in their areas. These programs aim to alleviate poverty and build self-reliance, not only locally but with wide ripple effects.

We are grateful for your support that makes all of this possible.

What Young People Face

We asked high school students in Kenya and Morocco "What are the main challenges facing your generation?" They responded with honest and eye-opening essays. In both countries, we followed up with events honoring the young writers, with students speaking to national audiences.

Now we've published an anthology of their writing. We're excited for you to read the voices of these young people, as they have a lot to say! You might discover, as we have, that the world is smaller than you thought.
