Our Mission & Vision

VISION:

We have not inherited this planet from our grandparents but we do owe it to our children. Whatever we do have a way of coming back to us and there’s no one better than the young minds on this earth to give back what has been taken away from this planet. With this in mind, we believe that it’s never too late to do your part because little drops of water make a mighty ocean. We all have been sent to this world for a reason, and each and everyone must try to solve this enigma in order to find their motive in life.

MISSION:

It’s the little things that evoke the potential of every person; be it a child or an adult. Our mission is to make this world a better place for living, not only rhetorically but literally and the best way to do this is through the means of education. the world is fast paced but so are we. the mission is instilling awareness and resilience at the right place, in the young minds to actually change the face of earth.
