ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

OneSky trains communities and caregivers to provide nurturing responsive care and early education so that vulnerable young children can thrive. OneSky was founded in 1998 to improve the lives of children in China’s welfare institutions. In 2011, OneSky was invited by China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs to train every child welfare worker in the country to implement our evidence-based approach. The OneSky Approach has reached every province of China and now beyond to benefit marginalized children in low-resource settings across Asia. Over the past 25 years, always in partnership with government and local communities, OneSky has trained 113,500 caregivers to improve outcomes for 377,000 young children with quality care and education in mainland China, Vietnam, Mongolia and Hong Kong, SAR.
