We help children overcome obstacles so they can dream big

Watch this video about people who have failed but ultimately triumphed, not unlike many stories we witness

Our supporters make it possible for children around the world to believe they can create lasting change for themselves and their families. The video below reminds us of the power of believing in yourself and getting back up when you fall. 

The video shares many success stories, like this one: “[She was] demoted from her job as a news anchor, because she ‘wasn’t fit for television.’” Yet, Oprah Winfrey was the host of an award-winning talk show, and is undoubtedly one of the world’s most influential women.

We support children so they can get an education and gain the leadership skills and confidence to stand up for their rights and dream fearlessly, despite challenges.

Watch this Motivating Success video for inspiration for children, youth and adults alike.

Support children’s education today through our Gifts for Good catalogue.
