Provide literacy services

Provide literacy services to underprivileged kids, youth, women and single mothers in US and across the globe. These include weekly English and STEM classes at no cost. Our mission is to bridge the gap in opportunity for those who have been marginalized, by offering free literacy services, primarily English lessons. By providing them with essential language skills, we give them the tools to overcome barriers and compete on equal footing, opening doors to new opportunities and brighter futures. As of now we are operating in 7 countries, and actively making a difference in the lives of over 100 kids.

Empower Eats : Rescuing Food, Restoring Dignity

Local Impact Through Technology & Redistribution

Every day, perfectly good catered meals go to waste, not due to quality but simply because there’s no system in place to redirect them to where they’re needed. That’s where EmpowerEats steps in.

Through our newly developed app, Bridge 2 Meal, we are creating a streamlined solution that connects local catering services, restaurants, and event hosts with shelters, food banks, and underserved families in their area.

Reducing food waste while fighting local hunger

By turning leftovers into lifesaving meals, EmpowerEats reflects our belief that no meal should be wasted when so many go without. We are proud to partner with catering companies, local nonprofits, and food justice advocates to ensure food reaches those who need it most—with dignity, efficiency, and care.

“This isn’t just about reducing waste. It’s about building a system of care—where surplus becomes support.”

PlateFul: Global Meals for Learning

While EmpowerEats addresses hunger locally, PlateFul extends our impact globally. Through this initiative, we aim to fund and sponsor regular meals for the students and families in our international education and literacy programs. These communities are often not only lacking educational access, but also suffering from chronic food insecurity.

  • Meal sponsorships for students in Vietnam, Colombia, Guatemala, and beyond

  • Supporting whole families, not just students

  • Directly tied to our education and literacy sessions

  • Partnered with trusted local organizations and volunteers

When children are nourished, they learn better, grow stronger, and build confidence. PlateFul ensures that education doesn’t happen on an empty stomach, and every student we support has the fuel they need to succeed—both in the classroom and at home.


EmpowerHer Initiative

The EmpowerHer Initiative is a comprehensive support program designed to provide financial assistance, essential resources, and critical support to girls, young mothers, and victims of domestic abuse. Our mission is to empower vulnerable individuals and families, helping them regain stability, rebuild their lives, and create a brighter future.

At the heart of EmpowerHer is our commitment to breaking cycles of violence, poverty, and adversity. By offering a range of services—including direct financial aid, care packages, mental health support, and educational resources—we aim to foster resilience and self-sufficiency within our communities. We believe that by providing these crucial tools, we can empower women and families to overcome challenges and thrive.

Key Pillars of the EmpowerHer Initiative:

  1. Financial Assistance
    We provide financial support to girls, young mothers, and victims of domestic abuse, helping them cover essential expenses such as housing, childcare, education, and basic needs. This immediate relief allows families to focus on rebuilding their lives and achieving long-term stability.

  2. Essential Resources and Support
    Beyond financial aid, EmpowerHer offers care packages containing daily essentials like food, clothing, and hygiene products. We also provide access to educational materials and tools to promote learning and personal growth, enabling individuals to gain the skills they need to succeed.

  3. Mental Health Support
    We understand the emotional toll that adversity can take, which is why EmpowerHer offers mental health resources, including counseling services and support groups. These services are designed to help individuals process trauma, build resilience, and develop the confidence needed to move forward.

  4. Breaking Cycles of Violence and Poverty
    Our goal is not just to offer temporary relief but to create lasting change. By addressing the root causes of hardship, including domestic violence and economic instability, EmpowerHer helps break destructive cycles and fosters a culture of empowerment, resilience, and hope for future generations.

Through the EmpowerHer Initiative, we are dedicated to building stronger, more self-sufficient communities, where everyone has a fair chance to thrive and succeed. Together, we are creating a future filled with possibilities.
