Our mission is to fight the root causes of poverty, in Africa and the Middle East, by supporting projects focusing on four core areas of work.
We believe that, together, Health, Education, Community development and the Environment are essential to sustainable development. Our projects take a holistic approach and are anchored in local communities ensuring that actions are relevant and viable for the long-term.
Education
Secondary school education for vulnerable students
The project aims to empower impoverished communities in the Kasungu District of Malawi by supporting the secondary school education of 50 students, 60% of whom are female.
Education / Health
Expanding teacher training
The project aims to expand the reach of the Flying Kites School Network's investments in technology and digital literacy for teachers by adding 30 new Network schools over three years and deepening the impact by supporting trained female teachers to serve as peer educators and deliver workshops on core programmatic topics, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH), to hundreds of teachers and students across primary schools in South Kinangop.
Education / Environment

The project aims to increase household incomes, in 8 last-mile villages, the Nyamabare cluster, form the Rubanda Disstrict, in the western region of Uganda. It also aims to facilitate civic engagement and accelerate socio-economic development.
