Our Global Challenge accelerates the development of self-build architectural projects that improve the lives of underserved communities worldwide. 

50% of your sponsorship will go to a specific project, carefully selected for its  contribution towards environmental and social (ESG) needs, and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

50% goes to improving the reach of our Global Challenge, and building out the capacity of our global network, which is volunteer-run.

Together, we’re building a world in which architecture serves the needs of many — not just a privileged few.
