TKOH is an advocate of human
rights, not only in the US, but has links and some influence in more than 70
countries.
We work to bring peace, equality and freedom, which brings respect
for ones self and respect for others. We work to end starvation, homelessness
and peace as we are all connected.
How it Works and Why it
Works!
In part what we do as a human
rights organization is we petition governments and those in authority
to work bring human rights
into existence as part of the peace process.
The second thing that we work
to do is establish solutions to
those in need of food and basic housing. It starts with
Cogitative
Restructuring, looking at problems and needs in a different way and then
working to come up with solutions that will resolve the problem on a short
term basis and bring recovery to people, using
debt reduction and
consolidation and
develop a plan using EFT
transfers to deal with funds. From that plan we use micro credits to help as
interim financing to a long term solution. We work to address each
individuals needs and from that helps resolve a communities needs. In the
past other organizations use a trickle down perspective.
With a trickle down
perspective the need never gets dealt with as it is always a hand out and
that does not build individuals or a community, but only deals with a short
term need thus creating addictive behaviors in those in need and make those
seeking help dependent on those giving aid.
The Kingdom of Heart and its
members are unique in what it does is it uses the reverse of trickle up
economics, which creates financial support first for individuals and
families that trickles to a community using in part the micro credit system.
These are the core principles
that the founder of TKOH has
established. We use this system because we believe in equality, respect and
freedom and the autonomy of individuals and communities. With a trickle down
system individuals are dependent on those supplying the needs, which defeats
the point of helping others. Anything less and instead of building people
and a society it will enslave them.
We lobby for human rights, which are about
equality and freedom and when there is equality and freedom it bring respect
for ones self and with that respect for others. True peace can only come
with equality.
The greater the distance between those that have and
those that do not have, the less peace there is or can be!
One solution of course is to take from the rich and
give to the poor!
The other solution is to help those in need bring
their quality of life up and that is what all of TKOH works to accomplish.
