Our mission

We're passionate about identifying, supporting and funding innovative approaches that enhance social systems and strengthen communities.

We focus on Early Childhood Care and Education, Adolescent Health, Humanitarian Emergencies, and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. We work with communities in low- and middle-income countries, prioritising 12 countries and 4 evolving humanitarian hotspots.

By supporting local organisations with grants and repayable capital, we aim to strengthen communities and maximise impact. For us, success is about delivering results that drive long-term systemic change.
