Our Vision for the Future
Educational Resource Training Center
in Philadelphia
Would you please pledge a monthly donation to help us complete our building project?
All donations are tax-deductible.
North Philadelphia is the most underserved area in the Philadelphia region. Once thriving industrial cities, they continue to suffer a severe economic decline. Skyrocketing unemployment, a struggling educational system, and lack of adequate healthcare and the global pandemic Covid-19 make life in this region difficult at best. We intend to provide a lifeline for critical services throughout the 21 Counties in the region. The Houston Foundation Inc. Educational Resource Training Center will uplift and support the lives of people in underserved areas. Every facet of the Educational Resource Training Center is designed to empower the residents to make positive, life-changing choices for themselves and ultimately for the betterment of the entire Philadelphia region.
Help Us Build A Better Tomorrow with an
Educational Resource Training Center
By investing in the individual from the inside out, we can build up confidence, self-esteem, an eagerness to learn, and a sense of pride. As a result, community members become stakeholders, helping to heal, and inspiring others to build up the community. Without your financial support, program resources can only go so far. Would you consider becoming a partner with the Houston Foundation Inc.? Help us build up each person from the inside out. “Because People Like Us, Do Things Like This, Because We Care.”
