We’ve found that ECD has a pretty significant impact on ALL of us… and the planet. According to esteemed medical journal, The Lancet (2017), failing to support ECD can lead to substantial economic losses, such as reducing average adult income by about 25% and doubling a country’s healthcare costs, as well as severe effects on health systems, democracy, and climate change. 

This is why we’ve launched Places to Grow. 

This project aims to support early childhood development, education, and care in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia by collaborating with the social services, education, advocacy, and research sectors. The project’s mission is to create a community focused on helping every child reach their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society in the future.
