Horizon Empowers is a not-for-profit organization that is determined to break the cycle of poverty through the empowerment of orphaned children, vulnerable children and at-risk youth to a life of self-sustainability. Our Micro-Communities are places in which we empower children and youth while strengthening families and building community resiliency. Horizon wants to radically transform the way poverty-harmed children and at-risk youth are cared for, while creating opportunities for people worldwide to engage in an experience of shared humanity and meaningful purpose. Our core values: >Human Dignity - It is our firm believe that every person has unique value, deserves respect, and an opportunity to live a fulfilling, healthy, and self-determined life. >Cultural Sensitivity - We strive to operate in ways that are relevant and sensitive to local cultural values and customs, forging positive ties with local communities and cooperating with governmental organizations whenever possible. >Symbiosis - Our lives in the West are inseparable from the lives of those we aim to empower around the world. Caring for others teaches us about ourselves. >Sustainability - We value quality, practical, long-term financial sound solutions. By rescuing one child at a time through holistic care, we work to create deep impact for whole communities and even countries.
