How We Help

Fast when it matters, present every day

Whenever there is a need, we have measures in place to respond quickly — mitigating the factors that could make a crisis worse. Our mission is to change the lives of as many children as we can, as quickly as we can, with whatever we have.

Rapid Crisis Response

We move quickly on major international emergencies, working alongside our partner organizations to get help where it's needed most.

Everyday, Ongoing Support

Beyond large-scale crises, we stay engaged with the smaller, everyday needs that too often go unmet.

Mohamed Ousri

Founder & CEO, M.R.S. Real Estate

Born in 1959 in Rabat, Morocco, Mohamed Ousri witnessed firsthand the struggles faced by families in underdeveloped communities. He immigrated to the United States in 1988, building a career in real estate while pursuing a lifelong commitment to giving back. Today, as founder and CEO of M.R.S. Real Estate, he lives in Virginia with his wife and two children — and continues to travel the world through the foundation, working toward his childhood dream of a better world for vulnerable children.
