Education Changes Everything
Help Us Educate 1 Million Children
Every child deserves a chance at happiness.
Education is that chance.
At Path to Happiness, we’re on a mission to provide education to 1 million disadvantaged children in the next 10 years. With your support, we can break cycles of poverty and unlock unlimited potential.
Education isn’t charity. It’s empowerment.
Empowering 1 Million Children Through Education
We believe that education is the single greatest gift you can give a child. Our mission is ambitious, yet clear:
Provide quality education to 1 million disadvantaged children within the next 10 years.
This mission isn’t just about numbers—it’s about lives changed, dreams realized, and cycles of poverty broken. Together, we can make it happen.
$1 invested = $10–$15 in economic returns
171 million people could escape extreme poverty with basic literacy.
Completing secondary education could lift 420 million people globally out of poverty
Why Education Matters
Education is more than a basic human right—it’s the key to unlocking human potential and creating lasting societal change. Research and countless real-life stories confirm.
Education halves poverty:
According to UNESCO, providing basic literacy to all children in low-income countries would lift 171 million people out of poverty, reducing global poverty by 12%.
High return on investment:
Every $1 invested in education yields between $10–$15 in economic returns. No other investment has a comparable long-term impact on society’s economic and social well-being.
Generational impact:
Educating one child positively affects the next generation. Educated parents are more likely to educate their children, creating a powerful ripple effect that can end cycles of poverty forever.
Imagine the Impact
Imagine a child who grows up without education—trapped in poverty, their dreams buried under the heavy burden of survival. Now imagine that same child with the chance to attend school, learning skills that transform their life, providing opportunities they never thought possible.
Your support can rewrite this story.
The Proof is Clear
Education Changes Everything
We don’t just believe in education—we know it works. Here’s what decades of research and real-world results prove:
Increased Income and Economic Independence
- Each additional year of schooling raises an individual’s future income by approximately 9–10% per year (World Bank).
- Secondary education completion significantly increases job stability and earnings potential, directly reducing the likelihood of falling back into poverty.
- Scalable & Sustainable: Proven models that create lasting change.
Improved Quality of Life
- Educated communities experience significantly improved health outcomes, reduced infant mortality, and greater gender equality.
- Education empowers women and girls, who invest more in their families and communities, multiplying the benefits across generations.
These powerful examples demonstrate the undeniable truth: Education transforms communities, economies, and entire nations.

Our Story
Two Best Friends, One Powerful Mission
Life is about giving.
Levin and Marc, two best friends and successful entrepreneurs, have always believed deeply that true success isn’t measured by what you achieve for yourself, but by what you contribute to others.
Their entrepreneurial journeys brought them professional success, but deep down, they knew something important was still missing: lasting impact.
In 2018, Levin’s perspective was forever transformed during a life-changing experience in Morocco. Spending six months immersed in local culture, Levin built close friendships, particularly with a family who warmly opened their home to him.
This family, with ten wonderful children, faced a heartbreaking reality: none of them had access to education, opportunities, or a pathway out of poverty. Witnessing this first-hand deeply moved Levin.
“Seeing those children without hope or opportunity because they lacked basic education was heartbreaking. I realized that to truly change someone’s life, we must first give them access to knowledge—because education is the foundation for everything.” – Levin
When Levin met Marc, he shared this powerful experience with him. Both felt a profound call to action. As experienced entrepreneurs, they knew how to build thriving businesses, scale successful ventures, and harness the power of storytelling and influence.
But now they wanted to use their expertise for something greater—something that would create meaningful change not just in the short term, but for generations to come.
This is how the Path to Happiness Foundation was born—a passionate project created by two best friends determined to change lives through education, break cycles of poverty, and inspire others to join them in making a lasting impact.
