To inspire and enhance families in need through education, technology, sports, and community outreach, globally.

Current projects include education assistance in Atlanta, GA and building clean water wells in Cameroon, Africa. We also support underprivileged students with school supplies and community services in both Atlanta, GA and Cameroon, Africa. Our mission is to impact lives, irrespective of their beliefs.
