The TKOH Foundation Human Rights Program

Human rights 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.

The Global commitment to human rights and preventing violations of these rights is one of the TKOH Foundation's founding principles. The Foundation undertakes a range of activities to promote and protect human rights around the world in Advocacy:

• Enhancing human rights defenders' access to policy-makers.
• Strengthening international human rights systems through advocacy.
• Monitoring human and public opinion
• Integrating human rights approaches and principles into the activities of all TKOH Foundation programs.

The Foundation's work to promote human rights takes several forms:
