Across Africa, local communities hold the power to drive lasting change.
We unlock this potential by empowering children, youth, and women through long-term investments in inclusive education, health, and leadership.

Locally-led organizations are best-positioned to create sustainable change.
Over the next 15 years, we plan to partner with at least five Local Impact Partners (locally-led organizations) and their visionaries to help them build and expand their initiatives.
In Zambia, we seek to launch four more Learning & Leadership Centers, driving even greater impact.
Since 2004, we've partnered with local leaders in Kafue, Zambia, transforming the Amos Youth Center, a Learning & Leadership Center, from initially serving 25 youth to impacting over 6,000 children, youth, and women in 2024.
This year, we expanded further, teaming up with inclusive education champions to launch The Moyo Center, a Hub for Inclusive Education Training & Research, in Masaka, Rwanda.
Your support—whether through a one-time or monthly gift—will fuel locally-driven development and transform lives.
