Since the start in 2013 Together for Better has helped hundreds of children to access education and play through, for example, constructions of three school buildings, two playgrounds, support for running costs to one school, and yearly donations towards school supplies for the entire year, to 300-400 students.

Together for Better focuses on supporting early childhood education and quality primary education. We believe that early childhood education is key to providing children with a head start. Only 16 % of children from the poorest families goes to pre-school. Supporting preschool for these children will ensure that also the most marginalised children arrive at school ready to learn.

Together for Better supports schools that give extra attention to girls education.
