A Message from the Founder

I didn’t create More Than Foundation to “start a movement.” I created it to end what should’ve never been tolerated: cycles of poverty, invisibility, and injustice that rob families of the future they deserve.

This work was never about charity. It’s about precision. It’s about power. It’s about rewriting what is considered acceptable for communities too often dismissed or overlooked.

​

For nearly 15 years, I’ve worked alongside people our systems were never designed to protect — families living paycheck to paycheck, children navigating hunger and illness, caregivers with no safety net. I’ve listened to mothers who’ve lost babies too soon, youth who’ve gone quiet from trauma, and health workers stretched past their limits. And I’ve stood beside them — not to speak for them, but to ensure their voices cannot be ignored.

​

More Than Foundation doesn’t arrive with pre-written scripts or photo ops. We build what hasn’t been built — with those who’ve been ignored for too long. From child health programs in overlooked parts of the U.S. to community-led initiatives across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, we don’t “serve.” We shift systems. We restore voice. We get results.​

​

The places we work and the people we partner with were not chosen by luck. They were chosen with strategy, with data, and with deep-rooted relationships. Everything we build is designed to outlast us — scalable, sustainable, and centered in community wisdom.

​

So no — this isn’t a movement. It’s something deeper.

​

This is infrastructure for justice. A global strategy for survival and sovereignty. A declaration that we will no longer wait for systems to save us. We’re building our own.

​

Thank you for standing with us as a Change Maker.

​

Thank you for choosing More Than.
