The Drive Behind T.F.I

"Imagine all the kids who once dreamed of becoming owners, scientists, engineers, and more—but were held back by economic oppression and deprivation, forced to grow up too soon. Forigin is changing this narrative by providing the resources and support needed to help the current and next generation pursue both their original and newfound dreams. Studies show that when children are supported and given the tools to achieve their goals, they are three times more likely to succeed and break the cycle of poverty."
