The four different ways we help the earth - DEAL FLOW
We work to provide four different ways to help the world, as shown above.
- I need to obtain free lodging due to a disaster in my area. Airbnb will announce which entity it is working with for the free stays. Currently, Airbnb.org doesn’t accept private applications for people seeking emergency assistance. Airbnb.org collaborates with governmental entities and nonprofit partners to help determine eligibility. For stays with the LA Wildfires - apply here now. To see all other responses worldwide with free lodging, click here.
- $2.3 BILLION RAISED SO FAR AND PROVIDED: Join our International Investment Portfolio with the USPSC at KIVA. Kiva is a non-profit that expands access to capital for entrepreneurs worldwide. We are growing farms and more! More than 2.5 million people have raised over $2.3 billion on Kiva. Could you be next? We at the USPSC Team generally only invest in approved projects backed by matching grants (like the Coca-Cola Foundation, Capital One, Walton Foundation, etc.) via KIVA LABS/KIVA CAPITAL or that have a Trustee. Otherwise, we DO NOT select and invest in stand-alone projects that have NO TRUSTEE, no backing, or no matching grant. If you are considering the billions of dollars we have invested and would like to join our investment team to help the world, click here. If you want funding and ONLY IF YOU live in America, click here. Up to $15,000 at 0% interest. WARNING: DO NOT TRICK APPLY IF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN AMERICA - YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DENIED. REPEATED WARNING. If you live anywhere else in the world, like Africa, Asia, South America, etc... you'll want to go here (click) and switch to your continent. Look right under FIND A LENDING PARTNER - then look for approved project coordinators in your country. You will be going through a Lending Partner in your country, approved by us. We are currently available in 77 countries, so not every country is yet open. Also, be sure to connect with as many people related to your project coordinator as you can research and find on LinkedIn.com. Please get involved in events they attend and make friends with them. AND PLEASE DO NOT APPLY ON THE AMERICAN WEBSITE PRETENDING THAT YOU LIVE IN AMERICA - YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE REPEATEDLY DENIED.
- If you're looking for a loan of up to $500,000 from KIVA Capital, visit this link, but be prepared for a rigorous, top-down process that is highly serious. Our success stories, worldwide, of half a million dollars or more, repeatedly provided, are superlative to all kinds of groups.
WE DO NOT OFFER QUICK LOANS, MONEY TONIGHT, CASH BY GREEN DOT CARDS, WORLD REMIT, CRIES INTO THE DARKNESS, SHRIEKING INTO WHATSAPP, OR REPEATED REQUESTS SHOWING HOLOCAUST AND KILLINGS, WESTERN UNION, OR ANY FORM OF REQUESTS FOR CASH AND MONEY SENT PRIVATELY. DO NOT REQUEST PRIVATE LOANS, AS WE DO NOT ENGAGE IN PRIVATE LOANS OR PRIVATE MONEY SENT TO ANYONE. We are not a Red Crescent or Red Cross disaster relief organization. We have over two million investors, and they are all forbidden from making any money or any profit. Our investors typically invest $25.00 one time and then begin to receive it back and reinvest it over the next 60 years, resulting in a $1,500.00 impact worldwide. At that rate, we have easily raised billions and billions of dollars. At times, our investors may fund their loan process with an additional $5.00 to the non-profit, 501 c) (3) Kiva, and get credit for that portion. A currency loss of 50 cents or a dollar can occur due to market fluctuations in currencies during the repayment period. We have many investors who have invested thousands of dollars.
Please keep in mind that most people don't want to invest with us once they find out they cannot profit from others' investments. We encourage them to contact traditional investment groups.
Chukwudi Eke is our Foundation Chairperson, who is featured above.

Somaliland Office and four orphanages
The Riyo Raac Foundation (RRF) is a nonprofit organization, connected through the kindness of Ms. Anab Ali, dedicated to supporting those in need. RRF works to provide food, water, shelter, and education to orphans and poor families globally. Ms. Ali has been a financially supportive member of this and led the massive African contingent to the Banquet and Dinner in Charlotte, NC, winning the award with us for the official Outstanding Service Project for Area 4 and the unofficial award of most members in attendance at the convention, "from any club." At this convention, her brother, Abdirashid, was awarded the gold medal for Distinguished Service from the USPSC.
RRF also offers sponsorships to help cover the costs of college and high school education for students who may not be able to afford it otherwise. Additionally, they offer micro-financing to those who are poor, destitute, or have disabilities to help them improve their circumstances and achieve excellent financial stability. Learn about our backgrounds, interests, and contributions, and donate at our website.

Ghana and His Majesty's Happy Home School & Orphanage
Missionary Janita K. Burke, Esquire of Kairos 22 Music Productions, has been visiting and working at the orphanage, collecting donations for it. She has produced music with the children, showcasing joy and singing. Martin CJ Mongiello was happy to donate at the official website. She recently visited Ghana, Janita K. Burke, Esquire, and we are asking other Ghanaians to work with her of Prince Kojo Hilton (Ghana National Gallery of Art and Theater painter, artist, and film producer), Alph Doamkepor (NASA farm satellite specialist for rain, planting, and cultivation), Anthony Osarfo (screenwriter and entertainment journalist), and Amui Quaye (Ghana farmer looking for advanced life opportunities in farming).
As of 2025, we are unsure of how these contacts come together but believe that sustainable farming initiatives and art for the children and HOME are somehow linked. In 2024, we did several WIFI nodes to advance small businesses across Accra with the USPSC KIVA Team and close to one million dollars in funding for True Moringa, Farmerline Ghana, and many other farms and businesses in Ghana. You can see the projects portfolios of the USPSC KIVA here.

Vulnerable, distressed, and abused individuals, especially women and children, face significant challenges in escaping environments of violence and oppression. They require safe spaces where they can receive compassionate care and support, regain their strength and dignity, and rebuild their lives with hope and empowerment.
Project Overview: Our project aims to establish a comprehensive support centre that provides both immediate and long-term assistance to women and children who are victims of abuse and violence. The centre will offer a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can receive the care and resources they need to recover and thrive.
How the Project Will Meet These Needs
1. Safe Shelter: The center will provide temporary housing for those in immediate danger, ensuring they have a secure place to stay away from their abusers.
2. Counselling Services: Professional counselors will offer psychological support to help individuals process their trauma and begin healing.
3. Legal Assistance: Access to legal services will empower victims to pursue justice and secure protective orders if necessary.
4. Educational Programs: Workshops on self-defense, financial independence, and personal development will be available to help individuals build confidence and essential life skills.
5. Childcare Services: On-site childcare will be provided to support mothers as they attend counselling and educational programs.

Ukrainian recent shipments of games and coats conducted with Luvien
Recent shipments of games and coats in 2024 were spearheaded by members Aaron Newman Myers and others in New York, going to an orphanage in Ukraine. This project was done with Luvien leading the way (a private non-profit).
The Dare to Spare campaign was a powerful humanitarian effort aimed at supporting children in Ukraine by providing coats and games during a time of crisis. Here are the key benefits of this campaign:
1. Providing Warmth in Harsh Conditions**
Ukraine experiences **severe winters**, and many families, especially those displaced by conflict, lack adequate clothing. By sending coats, the campaign ensured that children stayed warm, preventing **cold-related illnesses** and improving overall well-being.
2. Emotional and Psychological Support
War and displacement cause stress and trauma for children. Games and toys help bring joy, comfort, and a sense of normalcy amid turmoil. Engaging in play fosters social interaction, reduces anxiety, and supports mental health**.
3. Demonstrating Global Solidarity
The initiative showed that people worldwide stand with Ukraine. This act of compassion and unity not only helped the recipients but also raised awareness and inspired others to contribute to humanitarian efforts.
4. Strengthening our Mission of Service has long been dedicated to service above self. Dare to Spare aligned perfectly with its commitment to humanitarian aid, peace, and conflict resolution, reinforcing our global impact.
5. Encouraging Community Involvement:
The campaign encouraged people to donate, fostering a spirit of giving in local communities. It reminded individuals that even small actions—like donating a coat or a game—can make a big difference in a child’s life.
This initiative was a **beacon of hope** for children in Ukraine, showing that even in difficult times, kindness and generosity can bring warmth—both physically and emotionally.
