WELCOME TO
THE ENHANCEMENT FOUNDATION, INC.
Overall Enhancement Foundation’s Premise, Purpose and Passion
PREMISE:
The Enhancement Foundation (TEF) was founded on the premise that:
• If we empower women who are single or head-of-household, or married we strengthen the family.
• We facilitate and improve opportunities not only for the disadvantaged, victimized, undeserved, underprivileged women but also for all women and the future of their children.
Building legacies embrace women to seek higher levels of confidence and sustainability and is essential to saving our children as the next generation. Therefore, TEF program options help to serve as a catalyst for positive change and impact for the future lives of women and the community simply because they are “life-givers”. Since women are life-givers, every aspect of a woman’s life must be emotionally, socially, mentally, economically, occupationally, medically, financially, creatively, innovatively and spiritually healthy.
TEF serves as a vehicle to combat and deter the challenges, circumstances, and systemic obstacles; so, life-givers can identify a better sense of self confidence and obtain a greater level of self-sufficiency, wholeness and health success in all areas of their life. TEF helps women to acknowledge and utilize their creative God-given strengths, opportunities, core competencies, with proper supports and resources to embellish their mind, body, heart and soul and spirit. We believe the whole woman needs to be provoked with a whole new set of principles and perspectives on life, wisdom and given from experience so higher standards of life can be achieved and passed on as positive legacy batons for future generations of women. Creating opportunities for women to plan, organize, restructure and redefine their thinking, allows them to gain the necessary knowledge and access to various supportive resources needed through various mediums, and program exposure to mentorship, coaching, awareness, independent, interpersonal, inspirational development planning and specialized education in various areas of life. Therefore, when women are faced with various impediments that prevent women from moving forward, they more readily can redirect their goals, energies, and aspirations in the future in a more healthy and positive way.
PURPOSE:
The Enhancement Foundation Inc.’s purpose is to empower, advocate, facilitate, educate and support the quality of life, value and contributions of women in society, the community, the nation and the world. We will offer women opportunities to grow, be encouraged and be challenged to achieve their life dreams and aspirations through guided positive experience and mentorship.
Our program offerings challenge their lives through incorporating social, emotional, educational, entrepreneurial, vocational/career, professional, coaching and technical training solutions. Our health, mental, spiritual awareness seminars are offered and coordinated not only through our internal program components but also through the establishment of interagency agreements with other carefully researched organizations in neighboring communities where women are provided with specialized information concerning these solutions that may impact them and provide resources to further support their needs to overcome their challenges. We evaluate the effectiveness of the program by examining our and our partner's process, the results and impact on our women participant's lives. We ensure we plan, organize, staff, coordinate, order the necessary supplies and services as well as budget.
PASSION:
Our passion is demonstrated through our foundations of love and our abilities to empathize and sincerely care. Our desire is to truly see women succeed and overcome their disadvantaged circumstances, systemic obstacles and barriers. We want women to share their successful testimonials to encourage each other. We want women to truly see us as a safe haven and realize a greater self-sufficiency and power through the acknowledgment and utilization of dormant, yet innate, creative God-given strengths, core competencies, proper supports and resources needed for their future lives and the future and legacy of their children.
