​MISSION AND HISTORY
Joining Our Harvest And Reaching Abroad
“Building a Better Tomorrow, Today”
A Community Improvement Initiative
Mission Statement:
To empower individuals, families and organizations by assisting in providing information and resources needed to improve the overall quality of life. To assist organizations through a network of supporters dedicated to community improvement and social awareness. To be instrumental in the uplifting and advancement of our communities both local and abroad.
​
​
The JOHARA Initiative is a nonprofit organization designed to assist low income families, individuals and organizations. Several programs have been established that will provide our clients with resources to include but not limited to information, training, clothing, job referrals and financial assistance. Volunteering, youth programs, scholarships, mentoring, fellowships, community service projects and many other opportunities are provided through the JOHARA Initiative.
​
The JOHARA Initiative operates on both micro and macro levels. Through partnerships with both local and corporate businesses and a network of supporters, we are able to provide services that equip our clients with or link them to a variety of resources. Our services are free to those clients that receive government assistance or have been displaced by unforeseen circumstances.
​
The JOHARA Initiative has been assisting the Houston community since 2010. We would like your company to partner with us in our effort to continue to assist those in our community and improve their quality of life.
