Who are we

We are a Catholic Christian family who has called the United States home for 15 years. Inspired and protected by our patron saints—Saint Carlo Acutis, Saint Katharine Drexel, and the Blessed Virgin Mary—we founded this company to use our talents in service of underprivileged students. Guided by faith and purpose, we aim to make a positive impact through our work, living our mission as disciples of the begotten son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, by sharing His Gospel and love by helping people change their lives through education.

Faith in Christ is at the heart of our mission. These values inspire us to lead with purpose, compassion, and integrity; feeding His sheep.

Our Values

Rooted in our Catholic Christian faith, our values guide every decision we make and every project we undertake:

  • Integrity & Responsibility – Acting with honesty, accountability, and respect in all we do.

  • Preservation of Family & Life – Upholding the dignity of every person and the strength of the family.

  • Service to Those in Need – Using our gifts to uplift the poor and vulnerable.

  • Financial Transparency – Managing resources with openness and trust.

  • Stewardship of Creation – Caring for the environment as a reflection of our gratitude to God.

Our patron saints, please guide our steps to those who feel unseen. Lead us to the place where the love of Christ is mostly needed, where the Lord is waiting for us in the poor and marginalized, the silenced, the overlooked. Make us bold and gentle. We are willing to serve and pursue our path to eternity. Show us where and how. Amen
