ABOUT Greater project

mission of Greater Project, create generational change

We connect people with opportunities to invest in the lives of the most vulnerable children in the world.

We believe if we bring positive change to the life of a child, they can bring positive change to their community and world.

We currently serve children in India, Kenya and the United states.

Where we serve

Global

Aligned with the UN sustainability goals, we help provide holistic care for over 500 children in India and Kenya who are orphaned, abandoned, abused, or living in extreme poverty. Through loving family-style care, our partners meet their physical needs, support their education, and provide medical and psychological care. Our focus is on creating a sustainable future with a lasting impact on their lives and future generations.
