"Let the future say of our generation that we sent forth mighty currents of hope, and that we worked together to heal the world."—Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Influential Global Economist & Advisor

At VillageSteps, we understand that enabling development through education requires a foundation of all the core development pillars to be in place within a community. Educational development first requires sustainable food, housing, and that other basic necessities are met. Once these pillars are in place, children can immerse themselves in education and forever influence the world around them.

For women and children in developing countries, an education not only lends knowledge, but also enforces critical thinking, problem solving, and interpersonal skills. Education empowers people to make good decisions, lead healthy lives, and change the world around them for the better.

We partner with successful organizations to orchestrate delivery of all the necessities: food, clothing, housing, and student scholarships to ensure that communities can focus on education. By coordinating with organizations focused on one component of development such as food or housing, VillageSteps will not only leverage best-practices from many development partners, but will also provide a sustainable model for educational enrollment and learning. This model will serve as a blueprint for efficient distribution of resources and scalable development across geographies.
