Our Strategic Areas of Impact

Economic Empowerment for Widows

We invest in widows through structured vocational training, access to micro-financing, and entrepreneurship development. By fostering self-reliance and restoring dignity, we break cycles of poverty and dependency, enabling women to rebuild their lives and communities.

Education and Athletic Development for Special Needs Youth (Ages 7–27)

The foundation provides educational support, therapeutic services, and professional sports development programs for children and young adults with special needs. Our goal is to promote equity, nurture potential, and champion inclusive pathways in both learning and athletic achievement.

Research Advancement in the Oil & Energy Sector

In tribute to Adrian’s professional legacy in the energy industry, we support innovative research, academic fellowships, and policy-driven projects that promote sustainability, local capacity development, and technological advancement within the oil and gas sector.
