        Our BeliefsEconomic Freedom

        Economic Freedom

        What is economic freedom, anyway?  Our definitions:

        Economic Freedom

        What are the steps to economic freedom?

        • Economic freedom begins with education. Learning helps a person to build valuable skills and knowledge and be self-sufficient.
        • Possessing skills and knowledge opens the door to opportunities.
        • The more opportunities a person has, the more chances he or she has to be productive.
        • When a person’s production outpaces consumption, then economic freedom appears.

        How do these thoughts influence Dekko Foundation’s work?

        We invest in projects that help children and youth, up to age 18, build the skills, knowledge, and character that they’ll need to travel the path toward economic freedom.

        Watch this video for more of our thoughts on economic freedom.
