The M.N. Stewart & C. B. Riley Foundation is a self-help and charitable foundation founded in 2007. The focus of our foundation is awarding university and college scholarships to high school seniors who are studying STEM subjects and have maintained at least a 3.4 GPA in high school. Students applying for scholarship must have applied to and been accepted by an accredited college and university in the United States of America. We also offer tutoring to high school seniors in English and math who are preparing for academic testing . Our volunteer staff meet with students at public libraries to offer our tutoring services. In addition, we go on missions to sub-Saharan Africa to deliver clothes, school and medical supplies to rural communities in our services areas. We have gone on missions to Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal, Ghana, and the Gambia. Most of our missions have been to Senegal and Ghana, but we have also made donations of school supplies and clothes in Belize in Central America.
JIJUMA Global Travel Services & International Language Center, was founded in 1999 to teach international languages to foreign students visiting Los Angeles as well as to local students wanting to learn other languages.

Through travel, we encourage languages students to use their language skills.
