Our Mission
OneSky partners with governments and communities in Asia to provide responsive care and safe learning environments so that marginalized young children can thrive.
We began our work in China in 1998 as Half the Sky. Our goal, from the start, was to bring love and responsive care to infants living in child welfare institutions across the country. With a team of early childhood development experts, we set about training caregivers to ensure the youngest and most vulnerable received the best possible start to life. In 2011, the Chinese government invited OneSky to train every child welfare worker in the country. This groundbreaking partnership has transformed the standard of care and directly reached over 200,000 children in China’s 31 provinces.
Recognizing that the needs of young children are universal, today, we train professional child caregivers and parents across Asia with internationally recognized training methods and curricula, while partnering with governments to help them transform systems of care.
Since 1998 across China, Vietnam and Mongolia and Hong Kong SAR, OneSky has trained 113,548 caregivers and impacted 377,035 children, with a goal to reach 1,000,000 children by our 30th Anniversary in 2028.

The transformative power of our work supports the achievement of SDG 4 Quality Education: Target 4.2: Ensuring that all children have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education and can thrive. In addition, the OneSky Approach extends to SDG's 1, 3, 5 & 8. Investing in early childhood development is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce the effects of trauma, poverty and inequality. Our work significantly impacts the health and well-being of families, and our training programs empower women with skills and knowledge, benefiting economic growth.
