The primary vision of the Upendi Foundation will be to help individuals to change their “poverty” mindset.

The Upendi Foundation will encourage different forms of exchange.

If you do not have currency, it does not mean you have nothing to give. Other commodities we place a value on are: 

• Donating RECYCLING MATERIALS (paper, plastic, tin, glass), not only helps to clean-up the environment, it, provides us the resources needed to make eco bricks.

• ENERGY (solar, wind, water) by transitioning to natural energy, we can promote a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.

• Donating SKILLS means leveraging the specialized skills and talents of individuals to strengthen the infrastructure of the Upendi Foundation.

• PLANTING TREES, will bring life to communities, improve quality of life and help combat climate change.

• ENERGY (healing frequency & blood) Donating a pint of blood or healing frequency can help save a life. How much would we pay to save a loved one? Yet we place no value on the life-giving blood that runs through our veins and the healing capacity of our hands.

• CARBON FOOTPRINT, by recognizing the benefits of reducing carbon footprints, individuals and organizations can take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.

• Donating TIME, time is the most valuable resource we as humans have, yet no value gets placed on an individual’s time unless they are paid for it.

To create Upendi Communities that are self-sufficient, and allow individuals to heal, rehabilitate, grow and learn in a safe environment run by Upendi Principles. A place where each individual has the opportunity to “give back” and feel worthy, no matter what their physical or financial circumstances are.
