E.F.S. International Charity

The inception of E.F.S. International Charitable Foundation began 36 years ago while working with Charles Thomas, the owner of Descartes Financial. He owned, developed, and managed over four thousand apartment units throughout Los Angeles, CA including Nickerson Gardens (Compton) and The Jungle (La Brea and Rodeo).

It is there that the importance of aiding those who were not as fortunate was learned; and living on a preset budget as determined by governmental constraints or corporate guidelines, for those individuals that worked to earn a standard wage to provide for their families became integrated into life’s reality.

Through our community involvement we’ve worked with the following:

Religious leaders like:

1. Bishop H. H. Brookins
2. Bishop Wayne & Wanda Davis
3. Bishop Lucius Jones
4. Bishop Jacques Kessee
5. Pastor Timothy & Aury Ruiz
6. Pastor Mel & Desiree Ayres

Political leaders like:

1. Mayor Tom Bradley
2. Governor Grey Davis
3. L.A. County Supervisor Evonne Brathwaite Burke
4. Dr. William A. Burke
5. U.S. Representative Maxine Waters
6. House of Representatives Julian Dixon
7. L.A. County Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas
8. Senator Dianne Watson
9. Chair of the House Ethics Committee Nate Holden
10. House of Representatives and State Assembly Leader Mervyn Dymally.

As a result of these experiences, we have learned one of the most important rules “it is all about community and the network of programs designed to care for that community so it will thrive for generations to come.”

It is from this rule that E.F.S. Int’l Charitable Foundation designs it’s programs and offer active participation from sponsors and donors whose dedication to supporting us in implementing these goals to keep our communities vibrant, educated, and evolving. Through this collective effort we aid humanity as they walk through the healing process of life’s everyday struggles.

We operate multi-tiered programs that bring in financial support from the public, private, and institutional sponsors. The funds generated assist in developing the designated segments for program participants that have been outlined in sections one – eight of this fund descriptions outline.
