Education is the basis for progress. Without it, neither individuals nor societies can succeed. Thus, we focus on supporting high-quality formal education and training programs that target underprivileged children who typically would not have access to them.

By opening the doors to education for thousands of children, we seek to give them the opportunity to have a successful future, and make them productive members of society who can contribute to the betterment of their communities.

Today we have three main lines of intervention:

• Preschools
• Schools
• Complementary Services

In an effort to disseminate the know-how Genesis has acquired over the last eight years and to promote the exchange of best practices, Genesis encourages collaborative working relationships among the organizations it has partnered with. These include non-profit organizations it has funded in the past, our MacroProjects, government agencies, and the public sector. This networking strategy has allowed Genesis to create alliances among some of its grantees whereby they mutually train each other in their areas of expertise (i.e. nutrition, program evaluation) or collaborate in the execution of a project to maximize its impact. In 2009, Genesis also had the opportunity to sponsor and promote training opportunities for its grantees, as well as other organizations from the social sector, in fundraising strategies and other important managing issues. Our goal is to continue building on these partnerships, recognizing this as one of the ways Genesis can contribute and increase its social impact.
