Project snapshot

Highbridge Royal Simplicity has been a force in Highbridge and Northern Neighborhoods, where multicultural families often struggle with poor mental, physical, social, economic, and financial health. This project addresses the deep-seated issues that contribute to fears, disabilities, homelessness, and lack of hope among our youth and families. In an area where free or low-income summer programs and childcare services are scarce, Highbridge Royal Simplicity brings much-needed empowerment through financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills. By fostering financial lifestyle changes and promoting the importance of time and money management, we’ve begun breaking the chains of poverty. Our community-driven workshops and fundraising initiatives have built trust and provided valuable tools for consistent learning and active engagement in self-improvement.
