The principles of the “O” foundation is to help others get a situation where they can work hard to achieve what they want to achieve in life and whilst in their community. Economic disadvantages and disabilities, poor social and welfare scenarios only occur because the society lacks resources, know how or materials to get themselves into better situations. Every society has its challenges, but we believe that if the individuals in this society work hard enough, they can get out of that situation. We believe all people should have the opportunity to reach their full potential, contribute to society, and have voice in the decisions that affect them. We believe the best way to achieve these goals is to encourage initiatives by those living and working closest to where problems are located; to promote collaboration among the nonprofit, government and business sectors; and to ensure participation by men and women from diverse communities and all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build common understanding, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitment to society. We work mainly by building knowledge and strengthening organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest compared with societal needs, we focus on key problem areas and program strategies. Our focus is to: 1. Advance the economic well-being of people everywhere and improve economic institutions for the better realization of democratic goals 2. Strengthen, expand and improve educational facilities and methods to enable individuals to realize more fully their intellectual, civic and spiritual potential; to promote greater equality of educational opportunity; and to conserve and increase knowledge and enrich our culture 3. Increase knowledge of factors that influence or determine human conduct, and extend such knowledge for the maximum benefit of individuals and society
