By establishing strong relationships with the citizens of the indigent communities we serve, we help them raise their overall quality of life in a number of important ways including housing, medical care, proper food and nutrition, and education assistance. We know the families and their stories because we are there everyday – in the medical clinic, in the homes of abandoned elderly, in the schools, and in the kitchen that serves hundreds every day. We empower and employ the local people who cook and feed and care and teach and build their own communities. Over time, the infrastructure of the communities becomes self sustaining and provides for the needs of its citizens.
