Values & Culture

Our commitment to creating opportunities for children living in urban poverty is strengthened by our values as an organization and the people who have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others.

EXPERIENCE THE REALITY

EXPERIENCE THE REALITY

We base our investments on a sound, business-minded, and experiential appreciation of the on-the-ground situation. We believe that ideas and money are the easy part, hands-on execution is the difference.
