Human Capital Foundation
A Critical Investment in a Global Marketplace
The Human Capital Institute underwrites operating expenses and donates 10% of membership fees to support the Foundation. Human Capital development is critical to the long-term success of an expanding global economy. Corporate growth in the U.S. and Europe are increasingly bound to the developing workforce and emerging consumer power of today's emerging economies. Yet many of the world's most strategic third world regions face worsening social and economic challenges that threaten their viability over the next decades.
The AIDS Pandemic Threatens Strategic Emerging Economies
Chief among the challenges developing economies face is the worldwide HIV/AIDS pandemic, which threatens to eradicate an entire generation of workers and consumers in parts of Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. AIDS is a catastrophic humanitarian disaster that is rapidly destroying the educated labor pools and emerging markets that are necessary for globalization.
Conflict, Corruption and Desperate Poverty
Conflict, corruption and extreme poverty are forcing hundreds of millions of children to live without basic shelter, sanitation, nutrition, health care, education and human rights in the developing world. These forces can no longer be abstract to governments and corporations in the First World, as our own economic future increasingly depends on the growth and viability of human capital worldwide.
Hands-on Help For the World's Most Vulnerable Children
The Human Capital Foundation is committed to help, by providing assistance to those least able to cope, in those countries most severely impacted by AIDS and extreme poverty. Our programs help AIDS orphans, HIV-infected and vulnerable children regain stability, health and the love of a lifetime family. Our objective is to transform those in greatest need today, into a fabric of confident, educated young people, who can contribute to the social and economic needs of their nation.
