We are a New Orleans based grassroots organization whose exclusive focus is the empowerment of all low to moderate income citizens and the overall improvement of all aspects of their lives.
The primary areas of our concentration include the following:
Employment/Entrepreneurship
Education
Networking
Micro Lending
Access to Capital
Creative Marketing
Community Cooperation
Access to Technology
In order to provide assistance in these areas, we are drawing upon the expertise of many concerned and committed, experienced professionals from related disciplines, and relying on the community at large for their support and generosity.
As it is well understood that it ''takes a village..." it is equally accepted that the "village" must be self sufficient. We all benefit, as a society, or a community, a nation, a culture, etc., when the least of us is provided access to the tools available to the most of us. And we all suffer when even one of us is excluded or hindered from achieving personal success simply on the basis of the circumstances of birth.
It is, accordingly, our dedicated goal to help every villager participate in every opportunity afforded to every other villager. We cannot presume to instill positive self esteem and personal ambition where none exists, but we can aspire to overcoming the obstacles which work to produce low self esteem and despair. After all, it is in the best self interests of us all that we strive to make every one of us whole.
Please join us. Together, we WILL overcome!
