We aim to fund entities regardless of location, but we are particularly interested in the United States and developing countries. We hope to help end oppressive brutality against women internationally by uplifting them from poverty through education.
Since our founding in 2010, we’ve been able to support organizations working to remove barriers to education in 25 countries on four continents, including funding the construction of 30 school builds in five countries – Nicaragua, Malawi, Nepal, Senegal and Haiti. This work is transforming and we hope you will take some time to read about our impact. .
