We are convinced, that art and education are the only two effective and long lasting remedies for eradicating violence, ignorance and apathy. We are also convinced that art and education are two of the most highly liberating, elevating and evolutionary instruments; helping human species crawl out of the dark and mind numbing caves of violence built by the tyrannical dictators, evolving into a fair-minded responsible citizens capable of realizing, developing and maintaining democratic rule of law, thus entering the bright and very exciting future of cooperation, reason and common sense.

We aim to establish the Venus Project Foundation as a global source of enlightening, entertaining, educational and informative repository of knowledge and wisdom. The on line segment of our work would consist of between 5 to 10 minutes long e-learning tutorial programs free of charge for all of humanity to enjoy our multi lingual e-learning tutorial courses.

The Vital Role of Women:

Defenseless innocent women and children are, and have always been the first victims of poverty, ignorance and violence. - We must end and undo the tragic historic wrong done to women and correct it now. We must empower and educate women. We must also inform and educate men every where, and help them to evolve and realize that women are our Mothers, Sisters, Friends, Partners and equal fellow human beings. Men need to learn that women must be revered, respected, honored and treated as absolute equal to men.

Women are autonomous human beings, fully capable of making their own decisions and charting their own destiny. - And as so long as women; half of the world’s population, wisdom, talent and brain power are not part of the day-to-day social, political and economic decision making equation, democracy, democratic rule of law and economic prosperity will not be achieved and would never take root. Humanity cannot operate intelligently, fairly and democratically in a sustainable fashion, while hopping on one leg, blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, with one hand tied behind our backs, using only half of our collective brains.

We must begin by healing women first and for most, recognizing women, justly and deservedly as absolute equal partners to men. Followed by family planning, effective education, preventive health-care; maternal and childcare education, including information about family nutrition, organic farming / agriculture, and access to credit.

Looking into the future, our goal is to invest 50% of our net proceeds towards funding and furthering the cause of educating men, educating and empowering women deprived of their dignity and humanity, by establishing regional non-profit schools, preventive health-care clinics, clinics on wheels, schools with Internet access, Internet schools on wheels, micro-credit and small business loans to help the impoverished and enslaved women regain their dignity, freedom, financial and economic independence, by starting their own small local businesses, thus helping to ensure their own family and community a healthy growth and prosperous future.

Gandhi was absolutely right when he said: "Poverty Is The Worst Kind Of Violence."

Venus Project Foundation is committed to promote and encourage cultural advancement, education and critical thinking. Advancing culture and a real education are the only true and effective weapons against tyrannical regimes and terrorism. It is a well-known fact that ignorance is one of the deadliest weapons of mass destruction. Lack of real education, causes ignorance, poverty and hopelessness; many of the stated reasons we read and hear almost every day as the cause for holy-violence used by those brainwashed, in a hurry to get killed and kill many others along the way.

- - People often complain about the cost of education in terms of time and treasure, but if you think education is expensive, try ignorance. - Ignorance and Apathy are two of the most expensive, deadly and destructive weapons of mass destruction in the world. - - Bahram Maskanian

We, the humankind, should all keep in mind that silence solves nothing, it never has, and it never will.  Our silence encourages more violence and corruption at all levels of society, all over the world, and helps to defeat and silence the peaceful voices of reason and common sense. - It is our civic duty and moral obligation, to get involved and never be silent, to solve our many problems, through exposing the source of the problem, followed by enlightening educational measures and peaceful conflict resolution.
The only formula for a lasting prosperity:

- - Womankind + Mankind = Humankind - -
