KPIs & Funding Support
Between 2014 and 2016, securing a grant of CHF 08 million from the globally engaged Swiss UBS Optimus Foundation facilitated the development of both a functional prototype and a comprehensive final report.
The requested funding will enable us to refine and augment the current prototype, making it accessible to a broader audience of interested parties. This investment is critical for expanding our app's reach and impact, allowing us to empower more children worldwide with essential skills and knowledge for their development and well-being
