THEORY OF CHANGE: The Foundation seeks to break the cycle of inter-generational poverty and crime through four (4) classes of long-term, multi-dimensional investments:

Quality Assurance Programmes improves the quality customer care and participation opportunity delivered to the youth by the education system, the healthcare system, the security system and sports, and will increase the level of awareness about climate change and resilience.

Other Charitable Activities contributes to the reduction of poverty and upgrades the quality of crime-prone communities. Graduates from the individually-focused programme will succeed at a higher rate than other high-risk peers who are non-beneficiaries, in school, in avoiding teen parenting, in avoiding the Justice System, and in their post-graduate careers especially as farmers and other entrepreneurs.
