Providing more opportunities to children in disadvantaged environments

Where you are born and grow up has a huge influence throughout your life. A child born in Switzerland will have a different set of opportunities than a child born in Malawi. 

We believe that the world would be fairer if everyone had the same chance of living the life that they would like to lead. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the “opportunity gap” by providing more opportunities to those born in disadvantaged  environments.

We focus our grant-making on the first years of our beneficiaries’ lives, a period during which an individual has less influence on their future and during which we believe it is possible to have a long-term positive impact on a person’s life.
