Early education for children who need it most
learning that changes lives
For millions of young children experiencing forced migration or poverty, education is not available. We’re changing that.
Nest Global’s early childhood programs, or Nests, offer free, culturally responsive preschool education in refugee camps, migrant shelters, and communities experiencing poverty and hardship. An internationally-recognized leader in the field, Nest Global provides educator training and conducts groundbreaking research to further our mission of making high-quality education available to children most in need.
