Mission

Partners for Better Futures (PBF) helps improve the lives of poor people around the world, primarily focusing on children and education. PBF does this by partnering with local organizations that are deeply involved in their own communities, and participating in carefully evaluated projects and programs. There are three continuing programs within PBF: Build a School in Burma (BSB), Build a School in India (BSI), and APC School Philippines (APC). In 2024 BSB made grants for new buildings for several schools, and made grants for projects including water systems, and solar lighting systems. Grants were also made to provide humanitarian assistance, following a devastating earthquake in March 2025. BSI made grants to support education for underserved children in India. APC made grants to the APC School in the Philippines. PBF also made grants to provide humanitarian assistance to Burmese people adversely impacted by conflict, including refugees.
