Our Blue Print.
At the Foundation’s historical establishment retreat seminar, the vision bearer Cesco Tnez addressed the co-founding Elites saying: “The enormity of the human risk-challenges of our time has terribly subjugated humanity to untold hardships and sufferings, imposing on the Human Life, Dignity, and Integrity, a perilous existential threatening degradation, undoubtedly beyond imagination”.
“Furthermore, he declared: We have encountered and witnessed amongst the people: the painful and ugly face of human degradation, the danger of insecurity, the incessant violation of human rights even by those meant to protect it. Helpless mankind ravaged by poverty and famine, diseases and infirmities, and deaths fostered by negligence and culpable ignorance. And witnessing, man’s cruelty against fellow men: the domestic violence, rapes and teenage pregnancies, the great ordeals of countless homeless men, women and children living in the slums and streets all across the world – the surge of hungry beggars, refugees and displaced persons loitering-driven from their homes by the menace of insurgence, wars and terrorism (living in terribly polluted environment without care, dignity or hope). The economic sabotage of rulers and nations, and the despicable- quality of education in the offering for young peoples and a host of them driven from schools for lack of financial aid, and then, the heinous insecurity, the kidnapping and child-trafficking, the murders, the robbery and endless myriads of other deplorable human sufferings destroying the beauty and integrity of the human person and making development seemingly uneasy or rather impossible”
“While these extraordinary dangerous human experiences are the concerns of both international and domestic governments and leaderships, he said, they are the primary concerns and main focus of Safeguard Humanity Foundation,and have not only necessitate our inevitable establishment, but chiefly shaped the organization’s mission and vision, aim and purpose, objectives and principal goals, philosophical views and cultural values”
