We are a voluntary community-based charity and a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) with a global agenda which is working with the aim to provide children and young people of poorer background and orphans with early learning, education, health care, socio-economic empowerment and ongoing support to shape responsible and productive citizens with neither political nor religious affiliations or ambitions. We aim to provide underprivileged patients the appropriate healthcare needed through basic medical services donations that could be coordinated with the local partner district health facilities at the locations where the foundation operates its projects globally.

Volunteer Work
With our mission always in mind, we work tirelessly to improve the lives of individuals from all walks of life. Volunteer Work is something that we take very seriously, and work to enhance each and every day. Our whole team of dedicated Social Services Organization experts and volunteers are committed to this cause and will continue to work for a better future. Programs like the pediatric surgery assistance is aimed to change a child's life with a low cost surgery their parents cannot afford.
Fundraising for projects
Funding surgeries for pediatric cases identified within the community. The fees are to cover the cost of the surgery, logistical expenses and the medication.
Purchasing of medical supplies for partner community medical centers. Basic supplies are available locally but because of constrained budgets the centers are unable to provide to patients.
Sponsoring our supported students enrolled for tuition and school supplies.
Community Workshops
At our local facilities abroad we are dedicated to supporting beneficiaries through our various initiatives. With one of our initiatives being Workshops, we are always striving to make a difference through education. Workshops could be dedicated towards a specific target audience. Examples would be stoma care for pediatric patients, living with HIV and reaching your life goals. Workshops for teen girls attending school have also been provided in the past.
