Our mission is to accelerate social change in Kosovo by investing in its youth. We want to achieve that by offering (1) non-formal education and (2) service learning programs, which help young people become equipped and motivated to become agents of positive social change. Our programs are divided in two main pillars: 1. Youth education and development - that focuses on personal and leadership development, social skills, civic education and environmental awareness. 2. Youth community service learning - that aim to incentivize and encourage youth to serve their community with their new knowledge, confidence, and skills gained during TOKA programs. In all that we do, we have a special focus in youth from disadvantaged communities, and provide opportunities to those who struggle to reach their full potential due to their socio-economic circumstances to be empowered. Our vision is an empowered and skilled Kosovar youth, who are the leaders of change tomorrow.

OneSky partners with governments and communities in Asia to provide responsive care and safe learning environments so that marginalized young children can thrive. We began our work in China in 1998 as Half the Sky. Our goal, from the start, was to bring love and responsive care to infants living in child welfare institutions across the country. With a team of early childhood development experts, we set about training caregivers to ensure the youngest and most vulnerable received the best possible start to life. In 2011, the Chinese government invited OneSky to train every child welfare worker in the country. This groundbreaking partnership has transformed the standard of care and directly reached over 200,000 children in China’s 31 provinces. Recognizing that the needs of young children are universal, today, we train professional child caregivers and parents across Asia with internationally recognized training methods and curricula, while partnering with governments to help them transform systems of care. Since 1998 across China, Vietnam and Mongolia and Hong Kong SAR, OneSky has trained 116,502 caregivers and impacted 394,390 children, with a goal to reach countless more in future years.
No entrepreneur can succeed without a strong network of support. But because of the ways access and opportunity have traditionally been distributed, social entrepreneurs and diverse founders are less likely to know people from top colleges and companies than their counterparts. This means they have less robust networks to draw on for advice, customers, funding, and professional growth. We call this the Relationship Gap. Goodie Nation exists to eliminate the relationship gap that stands in the way of success for too many promising entrepreneurs, especially those who are people of color, women, or aren’t located in coastal financial centers. By making sure that every entrepreneur, no matter their background or location, can access the relationships they need to thrive, we are building a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
