Principles

Our approach to solving social inequialities is the same as in business. First, identifying and finding solutions. Second, providing the necessary resources to solve the problem. This approach is different from first providing the resources and then defining how to use them.

Modern society is based on the welfare of others and therefore the best investment is to fight poverty.

Many social problems are handled more effectively when foundations are supported by the infrastructure that companies can provide.
