Mission Statement
Empowering the "least of these."
The Charis Project is a 501(c)3 corporation dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial solutions for the care of orphaned and abandoned children.
We establish
self-sustaining homes and communities for at-risk children. We establish
businesses that the homes run as part of their normal functioning.
These businesses support the homes and serve as the classrooms to train
the children in sustainable socially conscious entrepreneurism.
We take in the at risk children of the world, saturate them in the
healing transformation of love and family and equip them with the
skills, character and attitudes that will give them the power to be the
leaders who will shape the economy of tomorrow and to do it in a manner
that is socially responsible and self-sustaining.
