How we choose projects

Small, practical, measurable

  • It responds to a need that families or local partners have told us about.
  • It fits our focus on education and healthcare.
  • We have — or can recruit — the volunteers and professionals to run it safely.
  • We can measure what it achieves and report on it honestly.
