Projects

We design and deliver on-the-ground projects with local partners to address challenges and drive progress.

Theirworld projects operate in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America and include activities ranging from early childhood education centers, girls’ entrepreneurship clubs, refugee education projects, and skills initiatives.

Our innovation awards provide social entrepreneurs with seed funding, mentorship, and scaling expertise to expand the reach of their education innovations.

Our small grants programme helps community organisations have a meaningful, local impact.

The Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory identifies causes of premature birth and develops treatment to support the youngest babies, saving lives every day.
