We work with partners to strengthen foundational learning, improve teacher training, and expand access to quality education for children in underserved communities.
We support conservation initiatives that protect critical ecosystems, restore degraded landscapes, and create sustainable solutions for both nature and people.
In Denmark and Greenland, we support projects and organizations that empower children to feel safe, gain confidence, thrive, and actively engage in their communities. We accelerate change by enhancing the well-being and resilience of children and young people in vulnerable positions.
