SURVIVE AND THRIVE
Ensure more children and young people survive and thrive.
We believe the path out of poverty begins when the next generation can access quality healthcare and a great education.
In under-resourced countries, we focus on improving people’s health and wellbeing, helping individuals lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty.
In the United States, we seek to ensure that all people—especially those with the fewest resources—can access the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life.

This floral form metaphorically conveys the survival of the future of youth and their thriving through education and health. The sculpture is based on the hexagon. Its radiating symmetry is constructed using geometry which references education. A flower precedes the fruit to represent health, food security, and nutrition. Blossoming is the manifestation of thriving.
Every Good Thing

Acrylic, spray paint, marker
Trees offer places to gather, play, or rest. This tree was inspired by the national tree of India, the Banyan tree. When a Banyan tree thrives, its new growth is warm with cinnamon hues. In this image, it becomes a mandala for a mother and child – radiating life as it reaches from their central presence, not unlike how communities thrive when women and girls can meet their fullest potential.
