Today, in Los Angeles, Frank Nitty, Executive Producer and HUMANDREAM, the world’s leading international advocacy organisation on a mission to end poverty, advance peace, freedom, and equality, announced the HUMANDREAM Education Fund, an initiative that aims to raise USD $100 million to provide access to quality education for children around the world. The new fund, announced by Executive Producer & Humanitarian, Frank Nitty, and HUMANDREAM Foundation Founder & CEO, Mesan Che Richardson, will provide targeted support to organisations across the globe dedicated to providing education for children. The campaign will implement consumer donations enabled and supported by an integrated payments & commerce technology platform, HUMANDREAM Foundation CEO, Mesan Che Richardson explained today.

The landmark initiative will inspire new commitments from philanthropies, businesses, and individuals who are dedicated to ensuring all children have access to quality education. Partnerships will work to raise awareness and funds, and proceeds will be donated to the HUMANDREAM Education Fund. Finances from the HUMANDREAM Education Fund will be granted into grassroots programmes and schools around the world.

Executive Producer and Humanitarian, Frank Nitty, said: “Last year, I joined HUMANDREAM and shortly after announced a major partnership between Nitty Gritty Studios and HUMANDREAM Education Fund. Music and entertainment unites the world, and over the coming years we will harness that unity to improve education for millions of children globally. Music has always been a voice for truth, resilience, and hope. The HUMANDREAM Education Fund is about reminding young people that their dreams are valid, and reminding the world that we’re responsible for helping them get there.”

“The HUMANDREAM Education Fund represents a bold step towards a world where every child, no matter where they’re born or what neighborhood they live in, has access to quality education and opportunity. By harnessing the transformative power of music and entertainment, we are going to raise $100 million. Together with our incredible partners, we’re investing in a better world where every child has the chance to thrive.

We’re excited to develop HUMANDREAM Education Fund partnerships that power a new era of impact and purpose through payments. By leveraging extensive networks — from stadiums and restaurants to hotels and retail — we’ll activate real change with fundraising at the point of sale. We are turning everyday transactions into a force for good and global education equity,” said Mesan Che Richardson, Founder & CEO, HUMANDREAM Foundation.

We’re also thrilled about producing live streaming events featuring musical artists who are taking action to help reach more kids with safe, free, and quality education.
