Our Mission
Our Strategy for 2024-2025
We are deeply convinced, that focusing on quality education (SDG4) by financing & building schools serves as a catalyst for all other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGβs), such as adressing poverty & hunger (SDG1 & 2), gender equality & reduced inequalities (SDG5 & 10) as well as peace, justice & strong institutions (SDG17).
