Objectives
The Center's primary objective is:
1. Identify the people in the world that are most in need.
2. Identify and prioritize the projects that will have the largest positive impact on their quality of life.
3. Work to support and, where possible, implement these projects as quickly as possible
Factors behind the Center's objectives are:
1. The center has been established to assist people in need. Obviously, it cannot assist all people in need. As a result, the the first critical question for the Center is: Who will the Center assist as a priority over others? This is an extremely difficult question and must be taken seriously. The Center takes the view that all human beings are equally important regardless of any geographic, religious or racial factors. Therefore, it follows that the Center will simply focus on assisting the people that are most in need. At this time, these people are in sub Saharan African countries.
2. After identifying the people that are most need, the next critical question is: What can be done now that will enhance the quality of life in both the short term and long term? While there is an element of subjectivity in identifying and prioritizing projects, some projects are precursors to other critical projects, some projects have significant short term benefits and assist the current generation of people and other projects have significant long term benefits that assist future generations.
3. The Center will utilize its resources to support and implement priority projects where possible. The number and size of the projects will increase over time as the Center's resources grow.
The Center recognizes that its primary objectives will benefit from a multi tiered approach involving activities in both developed and developing nations. As a result, the Center has established projects that focus on activities in developed nations that will:
1. Enable young people in developed nations to have a positive impact on their local communities and to learn more about their piers in developing nations.
2. Encourage discussion of the plight of the world's poorest people and the issues surrounding the developed nations' inability to assist them.
