To fulfill its mission, TFI made contributions to grassroots NGOs serving women and children, orphanages, village schools and charitable hospitals and clinics around the world. TFI also sent skilled volunteers abroad to work with local programs in the areas of poverty alleviation, human rights and social work in communities most in need. Additionally, TFI assisted in collecting and delivering donated medical supplies, children's clothing and toys to impoverished communities, as well as trying to raise awareness of global issues affecting the extreme poor through publications and related media projects.
