4 Oneworld was formed out of basic need.
We became aware of the situation at the St. Kizito School and were asked to help.
We formed 4 oneworld with a mission to provide educational resources to schools in
the developing world and computer literacy at St. Kizito School in Uganda, East Africa is our first project.
Meet the board of the directors... Here are our thoughts on why we need to help.
Tara McKinney, Executive Director
As citizens of the world we need to unite. Throughout Africa children are victims of poverty, disease and war.
They can't win this battle alone. I would feel shame if I left this earth without utilizing the opportunity and resources
in the United States to lend a helping hand to the less fortunate.
Education is the only way out for children in the developing world. Please help us empower young people and provide them with the educational tools they deserve. Together, we can change the world.

Adam Stubbs, President
At this point in history humanity can accomplish its greatest goal: ending poverty and its ill effects for the entire world.
The developing world has the greatest need, and the developed world, where many live prosperously, has the resources. We must share these resources and advantages, as well as help educate those who need it most. We can meet our greatest accomplishment, together!

We strive in our organization to create cultural awareness. When people are informed, ignorance is decreased.
With less ignorance there is less fear. With less fear there is less violence. With less violence there is less hate. Without hate there is acceptance. This is our cause.

"Education is a gift like no other gift. The energy and other resources directed towards eliminating poverty through education provides the highest degree of return by truly empowering the individual. Besides, it feels purposeful and right. It brings forth smiles and a higher standard of living to all involved, those giving as well as those receiving."

Mimi Nevala, Secretary

"'Be the change you wish to see in the world' is a quote that so aptly expresses what serving on this Board offers me the chance to do. To be afforded the opportunity to go beyond conversation and shoulder shrugging and instead offer children hope through attention, education and persistence is a gift indeed. It is through our own personal involvement and intention that we can make a change... to affect lives and the directions those lives take, and so to perhaps change futures destined otherwise to be tragic... that is the change I want to see happen.
Children are the future and Africa needs her children and her future."
