MissionThe Foundation is the first logic-based international non-profit conglomerate fundamentally designed to save the world. Specifically, our stated purpose is to end all preventable ailments within the universe by giving every individual an equal opportunity to realize their maximum potential through self-sufficiency. Achieving this vision will result in relief of the impoverished, the equalizing of the underprivileged, the furtherance of animal welfare, the diminution of the burdens of government, the elimination of societal deterioration, and allow for sustainable population growth.MissionDesc

DescCommunity Safety: The Foundation contracted out 3 local security professionals to perform nightly patrols around the neighborhood of the office in Mkuranga, Tanzania (the office in now closed).

DescEmpowering Self-sufficiency: While in Mkuranga, Tanzania, The Foundation invested in local small businesses (less than $500 each). Most of these entrepreneurs had proven their character and competence. We invested in a tailor who performed her craft well and displayed admirable honesty. We invested in a carpenter who excelled at his craft. We also gave him a donation of hand-planes valued at $1,390. We invested in a vegetable farmer who exhibited an assertive entrepreneurial spirit even though she was not able to read or write. We invested in a bajaji driver who is the embodiment of an honest, intelligent, hardworking proprietor. Lastly, we gave a living stipend to a random, widowed woman outside of Mkuranga who was living with at least one young child in a run-down house with no doors.Desc

DescSaving Children: The Foundation had some remaining expenses from the unsuccessful attempt to start a children's home. These expenses were predominately rent and caretaker expenses. Additional costs stemmed from the selling of the 4x4 vehicle that was purchased by the Founder with his private money and used by The Foundation in Tanzania.Desc

ExplanationDue to the closing of our office in Mkuranga, we are unable to directly monitor the use of the one-time investments/grants we made in Tanzania. The head of security, Mr. Shempemba, is familiar with most of the recipients; he sends updates (including pictures). He uses an older-style flip-phone and does not have the means and/or expertise to purchase the technology required to submit video online. In anticipation of these obstacles, we limited the cash grants/investments to less than $500 per family/business. Making additional unmonitored grants/investments is not currently part of the future plans of The Foundation.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 5During the previous year, the Founder became aware of embezzlement allegations. The Founder flew to the inactive office in Mkuranga, Tanzania to investigate. With the assistance of Mr. Shempemba (the head of security) and Mr. Jamal (bajaji driver extraordinaire), an amateur sting operation was initiated to catch the embezzler, Salma Munde (former executive assistant to the Founder). After being caught red-handed in her deception, she admitted her crimes. She was immediately dismissed and all keys and Foundation property was confiscated from her persons. The Founder will strive to never trust anyone again. The most important lesson learned is to only select employees/volunteers who prove themselves worthy of the privilege to be part of The Foundation. Although completely leaving Tanzania was considered, the Founder decided it would be unfair to those who committed no wrong; therefore, we continue to support neighborhood security in the Ngunguti neighborhood in Mkuranga, Tanzania.
