the birthright project is a nonprofit that designs tools, programs, and ventures to accelerate economic dignity and shared, sustainable prosperity for under-resourced communities.
we design, build and support locally led ventures that expand access to digital skills, community care, and opportunities to earn and own.
accelerate digital opportunity, so everyone has the tools and training to participate in a changing world.
strengthen community wellbeing with the care, support, and infrastructure people need to live and build.
build enterprise and ownership pathways that drive sustainable, communal prosperity.
we build and distribute modern, accessible tools, products, programs, and enterprises across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.
we test what works, prove the model, and turn it into something local builders and communities can own.
put simple, we love to build mission-led enterprises that grow with communities, create meaningful gains, and return profits back to them.

1. we learned from experiments that some of the best ways to serve communities can also sustain themselves. so, we build mission-led enterprises that meet real needs, create income and opportunity, and return value back into the communities they serve.
2. why not?
birthright project has a distributed network of local builders, fellows, and partners who live and understand the needs and nuances of each community intimately.
this approach helps build trust and directly connects us with the builders and thinkers who will take the work forward and own it.
