Build a world where all children are educated
Because they are our tomorrow
Origins and Aspiration
In the bleak depths of 2022, a profound inspiration took root—an inspiration that stemmed from a poignant image that captivated the collective consciousness via social media. A child, perched atop a trash bin, book in hand, became a poignant symbol of inequality, a silent plea for opportunity.
This powerful scene stirred the hearts of three compassionate women, individuals united by their roles as educators by profession and kindred spirits by chance. Thus, from the embers of empathy, arose a vision: a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the chasm between hope and reality, ensuring that every child’s right to decent education and wellbeing, enshrined in law, became a tangible truth.
The overarching goal is to ensure that every child, regardless of economic circumstance, exercises their lawful right to receive an education that befitting their potential, alongside preserving their well-being and protection
