Our Impact

When solutions are locally led and systems are strengthened to sustain them, children thrive.

Impact for the Whole Child

Success looks like young people building the future they dream of.

Our job is to clear the path for a childhood that gets them there. Healthy. Educated. Skilled. Safe.

We do it by mobilizing youth, local organizations, community leaders, governments and partners of all kinds to solve problems no single actor can take on alone. Together we achieve impact that’s built to last.

Our Impact Is

Child Focused

Each child grows up healthy, educated, skilled and — above all — safe.

Local

The whole community co-creates the change they dream of, and everyone benefits.

System Wide

Together we reshape the local, national and even global systems that child well-being depends on.

Strong partners. Impact that lasts.

170 local partner organizations in 23 countries
$700M+ invested in local partners over the last 10 years (including $100M in their governance, safeguarding and leadership)
59% of local partners now securing independent funding
When local partners lead … when they define the priorities … when they design and implement the solutions … those solutions stick.  That’s why we invest in the community-based organizations we collaborate with worldwide — so they emerge stronger after working with us.

Our Evidence

In Sri Lanka, a farm-to-school program halved childhood malnutrition in a year. That’s just one among hundreds of results in our latest Impact Report, proof that locally led programming works.
