Overview
In 2003, desiring to apply skills acquired through the development of four senior facilities to the needs of children outside the United States, Directors and supporters of Village Enterprises formed a separate 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation, World Spark, led by Michael Maslowsky, President of Village Enterprises.
World Spark (originally known as FEDE) is intended not only to provide charitable goods and services but to be a flexible, creative instrument for the betterment of the lives of children throughout the world. Investing its talent and resources in innovative problem solving, more than bureaucratic structure, World Spark first tested its capacities by developing educational programs for children in Baja, Mexico and Kiserian, Kenya.
With children as its central focus, World Spark employs a three-fold dynamic of researching, designing, and implementing programs that respond to the educational, residential or care needs of children, especially homeless children.
The Boedecker Foundation supports World Spark and its Ninos de Guadalupe Project through the construction and operation of a campus for orphaned boys in Patzcuara, Mexico
