Our Vision

The world we are working towards, and how we will know when we get there.

Vision statement

A society where a child's future is decided by their effort and not by the street they were born on.

Three pillars

What that future looks like

A generation that finishes school

Communities where finishing school is normal, not exceptional, and where girls finish at the same rate as boys.

Families that no longer need us

Our best outcome is a family telling us they are fine now. We measure exits, not just enrolments.

Giving that people can trust

A giving culture where donors expect proof as a matter of course, and organisations are glad to provide it.

The ask

What this asks of us

A vision this large is easy to write and hard to earn.

What it asks of us

To stay small enough to be accountable, to say no to work we cannot do well, and to keep publishing our numbers even in the years they are disappointing.

What it asks of you

Sustained giving, however small. That is what lets us promise a child three years of school rather than three months.
