“Hope is the best medicine. Action is the best cure.” - Prateek Nima
Two programs which we’re especially proud to be a part of are child sponsorships and the building of a vocational-skills training center. We currently sponsor 30 children in impoverished communities and our sponsorship includes 2 primary components – physical needs and emotional needs. Our financial commitment helps meet practical and physical needs by providing food, shelter and education and provides the foundation for bringing hope! Each sponsored child receives regular, personally-written letters which inject life, hope, love, value and the promise of a better future.
The second project, a vocational-skills training program and facility in Haiti, has proven successful in equipping local community members with the skills needed to gain employment or start their own business - the beginning of a significant journey out of poverty. So far, over 300 students have entered the program. They’ve learned skills ranging from plumbing and electrical, to tile-laying and iron working, and even sewing. This program really brings things full circle as it directly relates to our core business of employment and the role it plays in serving as the lifeblood for society.

Since day one, we’ve always been committed to making a difference through our company – for our team, our customers, locally and globally. No matter the season, we’ve not wavered in this commitment. We have had the tremendous privilege of partnering with and investing into opportunities that will leave a legacy which goes deeper and far greater than our business profits ever could have.
Close to our heart are the less fortunate and impoverished communities where people are in desperate need of advocates. We consider the opportunities we’ve had to bring hope to these people to be some of our greatest successes as a company. Whether it be funding water wells in Uganda, providing resources for safety, nutrition and education in Mumbai, India, or funding locally managed and run computer labs and a vocational skills center in Haiti, we consider it an honor to help meet the needs of these communities - often in an unseen manner. It’s not always the grand public gestures that have the biggest impact.
