Theirworld

Founded in 2002 by Sarah Brown, Theirworld has grown into a successful non-profit organisation that works passionately to ensure all children have the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for the future. The first project, the Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory at the University of Edinburgh, continues today, doing live-saving work to discover the causes of babies being born early, finding better ways to care for them - and save lives. In 2012, Theirworld became international in its outlook and reach, seeking to reach the most marginalised children and youth with sustainable and scalable change. Theirworld reviewed its strategic objectives and set new goals during in 2017/18 with support of the global communications group Omnicom through the UN Common Ground Initiative. What we found is that our values hold true and our history is an important part of what drives us today to end the global education crisis and unleash the potential of the next generation. From launching a research laboratory to pioneering double-shift schooling for Syrian refugees, here is a look at some of the key moments in our history.
