Our mission
To support and resource community-led efforts to radically improve children's education in West Africa

What we do

Fund and Support
We resource small and local organisations to lead the change in their own communities. By providing long-term, flexible funding and opportunities for collaboration, we enable culturally grounded approaches that put communities at the centre of improving children's education.

Champion Community-Led Development
We build and share evidence that community-led development (CLD) works. Through research, documentation, and storytelling, we amplify local voices and bring 'doers' and 'donors' together, making CLD more visible, accessible, and influential.

Challenge Philanthropy
We challenge traditional donor models by promoting trust-based, equitable funding. By modelling progressive approaches and engaging peers, we work to create a funding system that truly empowers local actors.

Our vision

We're dreaming of a world where local communities in West Africa are improving thier children's education, sustainably.

Annual Report 2025

In many ways, 2025 was a turning point for the mc2h foundation. Growing from a one-person operation, to a small but committed team, we took the time to rethink our strategy and commit whole-heartedly to Community-Led Development in children's education. Read the 2025 annual report to learn more!
