"High quality education is critical. Our standard is much, much higher: providing the essentials to help support families so that they may attain better lives. And within that context, the real goal is to break the cycle of poverty by starting with the affected children. We support local leaders building communities with all that is needed for families, especially children, to be healthy, well-educated and successful in life."
