Education & Enterprise
We create new pathways that inspire global citizenship and foster sustainable change through cross-cultural education and investment in social enterprise.
what we do
education opportunities
Our cross-cultural education activities and global studies curriculums foster a sense of self and a deepened worldview so students learn how to become change-makers advocating for and creating systems rooted in justice.
Social Enterprises
We collaborate with Ugandan community members to develop cooperatively run social enterprises. As businesses grow, participants and our partner schools earn income that builds financial agency to create a sustainable and just future.
Equal Partnership
Through these programs, our partner schools and communities learn together and grow increasingly equipped to build power from a place of equity. In that, we operate in solidarity towards our shared mission.
making philanthropy easier
Cash donations have always been helpful to our mission and have allowed us to impact over 10,000 people throughout our lifespan.
However, they might not always be the most beneficial to your personal financial goals. Fortunately, we offer alternative ways to give through our Smart Giving Suite that benefit your finances and our organization's long-term economic health.
Gifting stocks, cryptocurrencies, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), and donations from Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are powerful ways to maximize your charitable impact.
Our Smart Giving Suite simplifies these giving methods, making it easy to transform your generosity into lasting change.
By choosing innovative giving strategies, you're not just making a donation – you're investing in a future that is just and equitable for all people.
solidarity, not charity
Through cross-cultural education programs in Colorado and Uganda classrooms and social enterprise development with Ugandan communities, we challenge existing power dynamics, develop meaningful international connections, and support grassroots projects that center local expertise and perspective.
We focus on reciprocal knowledge transfer, participatory design, and genuine community agency, to continue scaling solutions to poverty, inequity, and injustice that bridge cultural divides and create lasting, meaningful connections between communities.
