🌱 Journey to Transformation Series: “Reimagining Collaborative Philanthropy” Collaborative philanthropy is more than just pooling resources—it's about bringing funders together to make faster, bolder decisions, increase funding flows, and share knowledge. One inspiring example of the impact of collaborative funding is the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). As a result of receiving funding from the Audacious Project, HOT was able to scale their map from covering 100 million people to 707 million people in less than 4 years. HOT maps have supported campaigns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to achieve a 95 percent vaccination rate for measles. The maps also helped malarial spray teams in Mozambique reach 80 percent of homes, a critical threshold for preventing the spread of the disease.

Today is the International Day of Human Rights. As Kofi Annan said, 'Education is a human right with immense power to transform'. We believe that the people with the most power to transform the lives of millions of under-privileged children living in the most challenging settings are their parents - and yet their parents have often not received the basic human right of a good education themselves.   Meet three of the newest Mothers to the Lively Minds parenting course, delivered in partnership with Ghana Education services to over 125,000 mothers and caregivers living in the most rural, poorly resourced settings.   Joyce, Habiba and Akwesi are learning essential early childhood parenting skills, and how they can support their children's learning at home. We are proud to be bringing the human right of education to these dedicated women - who are keen to learn.   Follow our Linkedin page as we will be bringing you the stories of many more of our Mothers in 2025. Join us to hear their voices - and of course to find out more about what we do!   #internationaldayofhumanrights #parents #ECD
