The Sheyene Gerardi Foundation is dedicated to advancing strategic global solutions through a unique blend of rigorous research, technological innovation, and focused collaboration. Our work is driven by a fundamental commitment to anticipating future challenges and engineering systemic transformations that ensure a more stable and progressive global future.
We are impartial, nonpartisan and we work collaboratively with other organizations from the highest level of government to local communities. Moral and intellectual integrity is at the heart of everything we do.
Our methodology is rooted in the Matrix Formulation, a structured analytical framework designed to model and address the interconnected complexity of modern global systems. This approach allows us to dissect multi-layered challenges—from geopolitical stability to humanitarian crises—and identify the strategic leverage points necessary for enduring, positive change. This rigorous, systematic view underpins all the work conducted within the Foundation.
Its role is to explore, pilot, and scale new technologies. We are internationally collaborating with other partners working on meaningful applications, tools and practices of supercomputers in a social context.
Is the main deliberative, policymaking of our organization. It catalyzes innovation, while providing a forum to engage collaboratively across sectors. The broad issues to which it attends integrally involves technological globalization, space law, human rights, international security, sovereignty, federalism, war, peace, terrorism, and so forth. We support leaders on strategy, policy and delivery, while also working to advance national and international human rights laws that uphold the dignity and worth of each individual.
Aiming to address and eradicate technological illiteracy, with a focus on OECD States and developing countries. We use a number of tactics to increase the participation and creativity of the illiterates during their learning process, which include experiential learning, nurture attitudes and skills related to creativity, production, co-operation, discipline and analytical thinking.
MOM´s role is to manage the assets of the organization for the purpose of investment, administration, and distribution of revenue, to assist and to look after the welfare of the people.
The Sheyene School (established in the Venezuela in 2007) provides career-connected learning programs to vulnerable children and serves as an opening door that creates a pipeline to jobs and economic participation in developing countries and marginalized communities. In 2017, we partnered with NASA to roll out robotics competitions to South America through the Sheyene School and NASA CLASS. In collaboration with non-governmental entities, international and regional governments, the organization has reached over 10 countries across South America, Middle East and Europe. The program is also serving prison systems, providing assistance with education to ease the process for reentry to society for people who have been wrongfully convicted.
In 2021, the foundation started the implementation of a food program to help fragile communities facing shortages due to the effects of Covid pandemic, environmental issues, or humanitarian crises. The emergency food is provided to people in need through a network of partners in strategic locations across the countries.
The SGF Commonwealth Enrichment and Outreach (CEO) Program was established in 2022. Its mission centers on facilitating the financial security of its participants by supporting entrepreneurial activities. Results of an evaluation of our program demonstrated that participants are able to double their income after two years in the program. They are also more likely to seek healthcare for themselves, and their children are more likely to go to school. Moreover, participants tend to increase their community leadership and participation and expand their decision-making abilities.
