How little ones can make big change possible

Class brings dream to life for vulnerable kids.

A big part of our work is encouraging young people to build leadership skills to create positive change for themselves and the people in their community.

Children in the Soul Pancake video below bring that idea to life, designing a playground for disadvantaged kids and seeing their vision spark real change. “Listen to the little ones, and big things can happen,” says one child.

That’s why we include children in the planning, designing, monitoring and evaluation of our programs and government meetings, councils and forums. We listen and help them amplify their voice for good.

Watch the video to see how our younger generation can make a difference. Join us today in giving them the confidence and skills to thrive.

Together, we’re driven by a common belief: creating access to education — inside and outside of classrooms — is the most powerful tool children can use to change their world.
