Our Mission is three-fold

1.  To create an experience of joy for low-income children by providing a holiday meal for their entire family.  Rod Khleif has doubled the volume of meals distributed annually through the Foundation’s Annual Basket Brigade which organizes the assembly and delivery of hundreds of Thanksgiving meal baskets to recipients in his community of South West Florida.  On November 18,  2006 The Tiny Hands Foundation Delivered 800 baskets to needy families. Tiny Hands locates single parent households with multiple children and delivers the meals with a simple quote: “This is from someone that loves you”.

2.  To develop empowerment programs for low-income children as a supplement to traditional curriculum.  These programs will foster the development of self-esteem, relationship development, conflict resolution and tolerance.  In addition, the programs will educate children about financial responsibility and physical wellness.

3.  To build and fund schools in third world counties by establishing infrastructures that eventually “self-fund” through agriculture, crafts and other business enterprise. These collective “Kibbutz-style” schools will be designed to support their surrounding communities with goods and services in addition to providing much needed educational programs for children.
