The mission of Dignitas Project is to empower individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world. Drawing upon the talents of indigenous leaders and resources of its partners, Dignitas Project seeks to improve education and expand opportunities for the next generation by: enhancing learning and leadership opportunities for children and youth; building technical and infrastructural capacity in community-based schools; implementing sustainable projects to address health, economic, and education needs; and ensuring that community voices are integrated into policy decisions.
Dignitas Project envisions a world where the values of compassion, mercy, and justice inspire people to act. Though substantial progress has been made in the area of universal education, there are still more than 72 million children globally who are not enrolled in school. Millions more are undereducated because communities lack quality teachers, textbooks, safe learning environments. Dignitas Project's commitment is to leverage resources and talents to strengthen education and communities so that children can achieve their full potential.
