Co-founded in 2003 by Alicia Keys, KCA exists to ensure that children facing the most challenging circumstances are healthy, safe, and able to access quality education. Rooted in solidarity rather than charity, KCA works alongside frontline activists and communities to deliver sustainable, locally led solutions that create lasting change for vulnerable children. KCA's work is delivered through three interconnected pillars. First, it funds and strengthens grassroots partner organizations across Africa, Asia, and beyond, building their capacity to protect and support children. Second, it drives bold, system-level "game changer" initiatives — including a neonatal care expansion across Africa and a comprehensive violence prevention program in South Africa. Third, through KCA South Africa, its registered NPO, it delivers digital education and child-safety programs directly to children. In early 2026, KCA opened its first Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Ngudu Hospital in Tanzania — a significant milestone in addressing preventable newborn deaths in underserved communities. Today, KCA supports approximately 200,000 children each year through 15 partner organizations, with a clear ambition to expand its reach to 500,000 children and 30 partners by 2028.

The WI is now at an exciting inflection point: it has deep content expertise, excellent programs, and meaningful partnerships, and can leverage this foundation and increasingly philanthropic investments to become more strategically positioned in a rapidly changing educational marketplace. The next director will be charged with building toward the future: an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented, technology-forward operation that actively cultivates new markets, partnerships, and revenue streams to scale its impact while preserving the human connection that makes The Windward Institute’s approach so transformative. The director will lead a collaborative team of six full-time staff members, working in close partnership with the head of school, board of trustees, and other community members to advance the Institute’s impact.
