About Us

Stichting iBelieve international, a.k.a iBelieve international foundation is a not-for-profit organisation, with headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We are dedicated to improving the living condition of children in underprivileged communities; irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity, religion or status.

Our Mission is . . . doing the right thing for the "good of all."

We believe that "every child deserves a future."

A good future starts with a good education, therefore, good education should never depend on a child’s ability to afford it.

Our Vision is to have seven million underprivileged children educated and empowered with essential 21st century skills: STEM+CODE+Bilingual Skills by 2029.

The iBelieve Centres will develop children’s bilingual, computational and critical thinking skills, and show them how to create, not simply use, new technologies. This fundamental knowledge is needed to prepare them for the 21st century.
