Home Affordable Modification program (HAMP) of the Obama Administration
06/12/2009
The large failure of a program launched by the Obama administration to reduce home foreclosures in the U.S. Only $1 billion of the $75 billion estimated for the program when it was launched in 2009 has been spent. Only 680,000 of the 2.7 million homeowners seeking to participate received loan modifications with lower monthly payments.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
