| WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that self-confidence, self-esteem, respect for oneself and others, and overcoming adversity are some of many critical elements in the development of a child and must be fostered in order to create a safer, healthier and more productive society.

| WHAT DO WE DO? WE EDUCATE.

We Help Children Learn. We improve academic performance by using games as a tool for education, fostering physical, cognitive and social development

We Promote Health by encouraging physical fitness, mobilizing communities around national health issues, and educating about disease prevention priorities including HIV/AIDS, malaria and immunization.

We Build Peace by teaching conflict resolution and peace building skills, while helping heal children and communities affected by war.

We Develop Communities by engaging local staff and volunteers and partnering with local organizations to build infrastructure.
