Why Freedom ?
Why Freedom International NOW™ ?

People often ask why did we name the charity Freedom International NOW™.

There are three elements in the name:

  • NOW – We are committed to Making THE Difference NOW™ – not some time in the never ending infinite future. This is about making an impact now in the present day and ongoingly.
  • International – We have a global outlook – we believe that a solution should work for everyone with no one left out.
  • Freedom – This is the core value / descriptor which we see as missing, and the presence of which for people will make the most difference today and overtime.

So this leads to the question of “What is FREEDOM ?”.

Freedom seems to have many dimensions and nuances.

One key thing to note is that the ability to ask that question “What is FREEDOM?” and inquire into that question with out constraints or fear we think is a key element of Freedom.

How much do you value Freedom?

How many of us take our freedom for granted. And we have so many freedoms, don’t we? It’s easy to forget that Freedom is something that our ancestors fought and strived to create for us, and which allows us to be, do and have so much more than they ever thought possible.

The exciting thing is that true freedom is more possible now for everyone than ever before. However the unfortunate truth is that many people are not free at all. Our mission is to help everyone become truly free – Free to learn and grow and become all they truly deserve and want to be.

We believe that the three pillars to freedom are Education, Health and Wealth, and that’s why we are focused on helping advance education, improve health and alleviate poverty locally and globally.
