The Charities We Support

Why is the Conscious Relationship Summit Donating All Proceeds to Charity?

Families, the cornerstone of society, are at risk today because most people don't have the skills needed to create and sustain successful relationships. While people continue to seek a fulfilling life partnership, they are not clear about how to do so.
Singles and couples are afraid of relationship failure and indeed North American statistics indicate that roughly 45 - 55% of all marriages will end in divorce.
Most first born children are born to single parents. Statistically, children from single parent homes face more challenges in life. They have more behavioral problems, are more likely to drop out of school and become involved with illegal substances. Many live at, or below the poverty level.
Blended families are also the norm nowadays and both parents and children struggle to adapt to their new paradigm - many unsuccessfully.
How can you help? Relationship education and support is greatly needed for families, children, singles and couples. Your participation in the Conscious Relationship Summit will help make a difference in people's lives, by supporting organizations that work directly with families and children, helping them create a better life.
All Summit net proceeds go to charities that directly benefit children and families in need. The following is a complete list of charities supported by the 2009 Conscious Relationship Summit.
If you would like to make a bonus donation to any of these organizations, your contribution would be very welcome. Simply indicate the amount you would like to contribute directly to the Charity of your choice during the registration process. This amount will be added to your registration fee.

The Olive Branch for Children

The principal objectives of The Olive Branch for Children ["The Olive Branch"] are to provide relief for orphans in the Country of Tanzania who suffer from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome ("AIDS"), or who have the HUMAN Immunodeficiency Virus ("HIV"), or whose parents have died or suffered from AIDS. The objectives of The Olive Branch for Children include the improvement of education and access to education for Tanzanian youths, through our Montessori initiative and our other education programs, including our HIV/AIDS educational drama group. In addition, The Olive Branch for Children provides life-saving medical care services to communities that would otherwise not have access to medical care. Self-sustainability is another central focus of The Olive Branch for Children. The Malaika Designs project and the newly formed Agricultural Cooperatives in the village of Kajunjumele, located on the Usangu Plains are examples of projects dedicated to helping Tanzanians achieve self-sustainability.

The ZION Home is truly the pinnacle of care for HIV children. Representatives from other HIV/AIDS organizations visited the Zion Home in 2006 and found the level of care offered is the "best in Tanzania and probably the best in sub-Saharan Africa."
