Glasswing International is an innovative non-profit organization that empowers youth and communities to address the root causes of poverty, violence, and migration through education, health, and community resilience programs. We work with youth facing poverty and extreme violence in some of the most dangerous countries in the world. Many of these children, lacking a sense of safety and stability, flee their homes or face other life-threatening situations. Despite these challenges, by harnessing the power of community, we provide them with opportunities to thrive and they become part of the solution. ABOUT GLASSWING INTERNATIONAL Our Approach WHERE WE WORK Glasswing’s work is rooted in community engagement. We forge partnerships with international and local governments, corporations, non-profits, and civil society, HEADQUARTERS building on, strengthening, and mobilizing existing resources to deliver high LATIN AMERICA U.S. impact, sustainable solutions.

To accelerate SDG achievement, we need to strengthen this entrepreneurial spirit and a culture of collaboration in all sectors.’ Jeroo Billimoria, Chief Facilitator, Catalyst2030 ‘In this extraordinary moment of global peril and promise, “New allies” is both a blueprint and rallying cry for how governments can work in partnership with social entrepreneurs in new ways that drive better results for communities in need.
