Opportunity For All
Our Founding Team
Kjell & Liselott Spangberg
"We think education will make a positive difference in underdeveloped countries, in breaking the cycle of poverty."
"We also believe that by helping underdeveloped areas to build schools and supporting education for all children, is a great way to "give back" and create a better world one step at the time."
"Every child deserves the chance to an education. It is our responsibility to equip them with the skills and the knowledge to create a bright future, for themselves and others."
"We have committed $10 million to schools. As a family, we are actively involved and so happy that we can make a difference through education."

Today they live with their two sons and two goldendoodles in northern California while their daughter lives in Amsterdam.

"Through the generosity of others I never knew, I was able to attend wonderful private schools and universities. I've never forgotten that."
"We've been lucky in life. It's great to have the opportunity to give back and what better gift could there be than the gift of education..."
"The need is so great around the world. I only wish we could do even more"
