INTRODUCTION TO THE TEAM
 NO MORE POVERTY seeks to provide novel solutions to increase
the standard of living and quality of life for those suffering in
poverty.
 Founded by Julian Omidi and Michael Omidi M.D., NO MORE
POVERTY is a not-for-profit charity organization with pending
501(c)(3) charity status.
 The organization works to increase awareness of and donations to
charities already doing great work to address poverty and its
staggering effects throughout the world. We are interested in
increasing long-term sustainability through grants and business
development that creates jobs and robust commerce in
disenfranchised areas. We encourage the public to join the Omidi
Family and No More Poverty in support of the charities featured on
our website.

encourages support be offered directly to the respective charities

INTRODUCTION TO THE TEAM
 Charitable Endowment Support (CES7) is a 501(c)(3) US
registered non-profit organization that serves as the umbrella to
organizations whose purpose is to enhance the lives of the homeless,
orphans, impoverished, sexually abused, sick, and illiterate children
living in third-world adversity. CES7 and partnering organizations
endeavor to impact on a global scale and seek to start their efforts
in the Philippines
 The primary mission of CES7 is to support the rescued children and
ensure that they are in a safe orphanage environment. Our goal is
to not only shelter children but to support families, dissipate abuse
and help rebuild individuals in ways that empower independence
and self-sufficiency. The purpose of this website is to educate the
public on our mission, our progress and specific efforts that each of
you can help us with. We are a group of people dedicated to our
cause with all our hearts.
