The Wealth of Nations Foundation is a secular nonprofit corporation. Our primary purpose is to promote the welfare of children and adolescents including advancement of religion, education, elimination of prejudice and discrimination, defense of human and civil rights secured by law, and raise funds for other organizations that benefit youth.

A FATHER’S HEART MEN’S BREAKFAST A Father’s Heart Men’s Breakfast is dedicated to celebrating fatherhood, honoring the Father of the Year, and inspiring men to embrace our children. Our theme A New Day asks fathers who feel that they have failed to leave behind their failures and look toward positive future involvement in the lives of their children; also A New Day represents a new opportunity for those fathers who have been successful at fathering to increase their sphere of influence from children in their homes to embracing the at-risk children in their communities.

FATHERHOOD PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Produced and Distributed Fatherhood Public Service Announcement starring Chuck Woolery addressing the need for fatherhood in childrearing and highlighting the correlation between absent fathers and delinquency.

PROJECT TKO AIDS: It is estimated that over 20 million Africans will die from AIDS related diseases by the end of this decade. This means millions of children die or are orphaned and millions more will be added to that number. It is the cry of our heart to bring hope and healing to our children and their families. The Wealth of Nations Foundation in partnership with Global Tech Resource Group, Inc, a Nevada-based for profit corporation, is bringing Lumoer, a treatment for AIDS, to children and their families in Africa. Phase one of the treatment cycle will be implemented to 2,500 AIDS-infected patients in Nigeria, then it will be made available to South Africa.

SHAAY (SAFE HOMES FOR ABUSED & ABANDONED YOUTH)
SANCTUARY! In old English law, when a person cried Sanctuary!, they were given the protection of the church against persecution. Sanctuary is a sacred place in which fugitives are immune to arrest; a place of refuge where people are protected from abuse and molestation. Presently, there are 50,000 children in the Los Angeles County foster care system. These children wait an average of 45 months for adoption. Bounced between foster homes and group homes, they are primary targets for delinquency and teen pregnancy. Shaay is a simple concept for providing community for foster children using existing institutional structures. This pilot program promoting foster parenting in churches could be repeated in churches throughout Southern California and in other parts of the U.S.

1. The program works within the existing foster care system;
2. Regulatory approval: No regulatory approval required other than foster care certification for the caretaker couple;
3. The program does not require substantial expense to get started;
4. The foster children would have a community of people committed to them, not just one family in isolation;
5. The foster care couple would have natural accountability and support from the church community;
6. The foster children may be adopted by other families in the church;
7. The foster children would have some permanency in the church community, even if they were moved to different foster families within the church.

FATHER’S HEART FESTIVALS: a campaign to promote fatherhood and to create mentoring opportunities to bring the fathers of our community alongside our fatherless children. Through festivals, we hope to increase awareness of the significance of fathers in childrearing. The festivals will create festive atmospheres with booths, rides, music, and celebration. They will aim at the most vulnerable children, notably foster children under the wardship of the Department of Children and Family Services with priority given to the children of incarcerated men. We are also reaching out to children on probation to the juvenile courts and to impoverished children from the projects. Our kids will learn that they have the support of the men in our community and that they can do the impossible if they believe.
