The Foundation's purpose is to fund work that directly or indirectly supports children and families living in deprivation in low- and middle-income countries to escape the cycle of poverty and reach their potential in life.

  • Fund transformational, efficient, sustainable, scalable and replicable investments in development to support and strengthen government, private sector and community systems to provide sustainable health, WASH, education and employment opportunities

  • Address the systemic issues that make humanitarian crises more acute, by funding resilience and preparation in addition to recovery
