Our Plan
How we plan to help
Every year, millions of people find ways to transition out of poverty, but due to economic hardship—they are unable to succeed.
Therefore, TAF plan is to target the worlds poorest families or individuals. As such, in developing countries, TAF will focus on improving people’s health and wellbeing, helping families or individuals (in Sub-Saharan Africa specifically) lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty.
Our Advantage
What makes how we help different
TAF distinguished advantage is: Giving to individuals rather than organizations. In the 20th century, when charity evolved into philanthropy, one of the casualties was that grants shifted away from individuals and towards groups.
This meant that instead of helping poor people, philanthropy fought the “root causes” of poverty, which meant they funded wealthy sociologists studying poor people. For instance: In medical research, this meant shifting away from helping sick people pay for their bills towards medical research that helped everyone.
While funding of medical research is, in my view, one of the strengths of philanthropy, many foundations have done a bad job in helping individual people with their giant medical bills.
Fortunately, the rise of GoFundMe, YouCaring, and similar online platforms has filled the gap. GoFundMe says it has raised $5 billion for medical bills since 2009, and YouCaring says it has raised $900 million
TAF Standards
TAF will adhere to the following direction regarding our charitable giving:
TAF believes in providing people with a hand-up (not hand-out) to help them improve themselves, and eventually, help others.
TAF will strive to be a permanent and impactful resource to the families, individuals and communities we serve.
TAF will ensure that an entrepreneurial spirit is ever-present as we execute our work.
TAF will uphold herself, and those with whom we are associated, to a high-quality work execution and standards.
TAF will provide financial aid to the needy (could be a student, single mother /father, sick or poor or anyone else who has a real need). However needy and the needs are required to be real and genuine.
