Homelessness is a critical issue affecting millions worldwide. In Austin, Texas, the problem is particularly severe, with around 4,600 people experiencing homelessness on any given night. Among them are individuals with mental and physical disabilities and even those who are employed but unable to afford housing due to the high cost of living and insufficient affordable housing options.
The Faces of Homelessness
Economic Hardships: Rising housing costs, stagnant wages, and job losses are significant contributors to homelessness. Even full-time workers can find themselves living out of cars or tents.
Health Issues: Many homeless individuals suffer from mental health disorders or physical disabilities, making it difficult to maintain employment and stable housing. The support systems for these individuals are often inadequate.
Systemic Failures: Inadequate social safety nets, insufficient healthcare, and a lack of affordable housing perpetuate the cycle of homelessness.
The Role of Law Enforcement
Law enforcement agencies often focus on public safety rather than providing social services. This approach does not address the root causes of homelessness or offer long-term solutions.

Bringing Joy to the Elderly: Your Help Needed
Change This World Project is dedicated to enhancing the lives of elderly individuals in low-income nursing homes by providing engaging activities and a sense of community.

Our Solution: Music and Motivation

Our Goals
Expand Reach: Cover 20 nursing homes each month.
Inclusive Activities: Ensure all elderly individuals feel valued and engaged.

In today’s world, many children are at risk of losing their way.
The disruptions and disconnections in our society are becoming more pronounced, leading to a sense of unstructured chaos. It’s evident in the conflicts, violence, and myriads of challenges people face daily.
We’ve drifted apart from each other and ourselves, losing touch with the essence of togetherness.
But amidst all this, there’s hope.
We believe that change begins with our children. They hold the key to healing our society. Imagine if every child grew up knowing they are loved and special, equipped with the profound ability to love themselves.
This foundation of self-love could transform our world, reducing the disruptions that plague us today.
Sadly, many of those who perpetrate harm were once children who didn’t receive guidance, they needed to love themselves and others.
This is why it’s crucial to instill in children the knowledge of self-love from a young age.
By doing so, we can pave the way for a more compassionate and harmonious future.
At our core, we aim to inspire children to embrace self-love and live purposefully.
This vision is embodied by Melvin Brown, known as the entertainer Movin’ Melvin Brown, who has spent decades spreading positivity through music, dance and motivational speaking.
His upcoming family show promises to create a joyful space where families can come together, connect with each other, and be inspired by uplifting entertainment.
We invite you to join us on this meaningful journey. Whether through donations or by sharing your motivational talents, you can help us make a difference. Together, let’s nurture a generation that not only loves themselves but also shares that love with the world.
If you’re a motivational speaker or wish to contribute in any way, please reach out. Your support will help us create a brighter future for our children and society as a whole.
At Change This World Project, we’re dedicated to making fresh, chemical-free produce accessible to everyone.
Too often, we hear about the challenges of finding affordable, nutritious fruits and vegetables.
That’s why we’re excited to announce our initiative to transform two acres of land into a community farm.
Founder Melvin Brown has generously offered this land to create a space where community members can actively participate in growing organic fruits and vegetables.
In exchange for their efforts, volunteers will have access to the harvest.
Our goal is to not only provide healthy food options but also foster a sense of community and connection through shared agricultural work.
Additionally, we aim to sell our produce at affordable prices to ensure that even low-income families can enjoy fresh, organic produce.
By cutting out the middleman and growing our own food sustainably, we can pass on savings directly to our community.
While we currently have the land, our vision is to fully develop it into a thriving farm within the next two years.
If you have experience in organic farming or are passionate about sustainable agriculture, we invite you to join us.
Your expertise and enthusiasm can help us expedite this transformation and maximize our impact.
Your support matters. Whether through volunteering your time, sharing your knowledge, or making a donation, you can help us create a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone in our community.
Together, let’s grow a brighter tomorrow.
If you’re ready to make a difference or want to learn more about how you can get involved, please reach out.
Together, we can make fresh, affordable produce a reality for all.
