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.

Despite these challenges, by harnessing the power of community, we provide them with opportunities to thrive and they become part of the solution.
