About Us
Help children in impoverished communities go from surviving to thriving
Project M:25 helps children in impoverished communities around the world heal from trauma, build resilience, and thrive.
No child should have to grow up without safety, dignity, or the opportunity to thrive.
Since Project M:25 was founded in 2012, we’ve been on a mission to help vulnerable children around the world thrive. Thanks to the help of our generous partners and supporters, we’re making serious progress.
With nearly two decades of on-the-ground experience in Ecuador, and a proven, trauma-informed model developed alongside academic partners, M:25 knows how to help children heal, grow, and thrive.
