We Foundation

We work to improve the social equity of children, youth and families – through technology. ​

According to the United Nations, “every child has the right to rest, play, and join in cultural and creative activities”. Founded in 2015 by Supercell entrepreneurs Ilkka Paananen and Mikko Kodisoja, We Foundation works to ensure exactly that.

With data and the support of our partners, we're working towards a world where all kids – regardless of their background – have the same chances to explore hobbies, feel hopeful about the future, and feel a sense of belonging."

Social equity and technology___
At the heart of We Foundation are activities that promote children and families' well-being and equality. Instead of granting, we have chosen to play an active role. We have created a system for social impact assessment and metrics that we continue to develop with our long-term partners.

We believe that the technology we create will become essential in understanding the impact NGOs and public sector organizations working with children, youth and families make. It will allow them to measure and verify the accessibility and effectiveness of their operations and produce much needed data from the field.

Our goal is that in the future all organizations like our partners will be able to verify the positive impact of their activities and better reach children and families with increased risk of social exclusion.

We welcome partnership inquiries from NGOs and public sector organizations – let’s co-create change!
