A bright future belongs to financially educated youth, families, and businesses. While education freezes ignorance in its tracks, financial literacy paves the way to true freedom.

When will you stop overpaying interest for others?

It is time to build your own financial foundation and make high interest work for you, not against you. We present four campaigns below designed to close every gap where your money is currently leaking.

01

#ClaimBankOverdrafts

Learn how bank overdraft fees work, how to get them refunded, and how to never pay one again. The campaign was launched in 2021 by Freez 'hem Worldwide LLC and is known in Lingala as "Mayi ekufela mbua."

$15.5 billion in overdraft and NSF fees in 2019. The typical fee is $35. Read the CFPB article

02

Creating Your Own Bank

Code Blue: 401k and All the Above

This campaign serves youth, nurses, and professionals who prioritize care for others over themselves. A 401(k) or 403(b) is just a tax code, not a financial plan. Direct your earnings into financial vehicles that provide liquidity during active investment opportunities and guaranteed returns in retirement.

03

Planning Ahead

Prepare for major life transitions, marriage, homeownership, a new child, or relocating to the United States, using Freezhem resources. We provide the exact tools you need to secure your financial foundation during critical milestones.

04

Debt Management

Compound interest will either destroy your finances or build your wealth. Learn how to leverage other people's money to build your own assets.

Your finances and your health

Time is not in our hands. Life can happen anytime.

Good health maximizes your capacity to work, think, and invest. Your body is your first asset. Your health will decline at some point in the future; when it does, your wealth declines with it, and medical bills can rapidly drain unprotected savings. Freezhem breaks this direct link. Having survived 30 months in hospital beds and 12 surgeries, Godefroid sees this reality daily as a nurse. We teach you to optimize your health while locking down your financial foundation.

Doctors, Here Is My Leg

A forklift accident in Congo. Thirty months of recovery. Twelve surgeries. Written twenty-five years ago and published in 2025, this testimony asks what a hospital's true responsibility is to its patients, and what it costs a family when the breadwinner cannot work.

Three Touches for Accident Victims: From the Roadside to Recovery

A nonprofit inspired by the book, sharing the same global vision. Regular and special donations fund the Foundation exclusively, never the business entity, to directly support our three touch programs.

Touch 1

The Good Samaritan

Bystanders record a crash scene with their phone. Photos, video, and location go to Foundation headquarters, where one secure case file is built per accident for victims, families, insurers, and police.

Touch 2

The Healing of the Pool of Bethesda

Financial assistance for anyone worldwide facing a surgery or medical intervention their family cannot afford alone. This program serves accident victims requiring follow-up surgeries, as well as any patient needing a personalized fundraising campaign below.

Touch 3

Frzm 4 Wmn

Frzm 4 Wmn exposes corruption, exploitation, and abuse across international healthcare systems. The platform uses Frzm 4 Wmn TV to provide training and campaigns that confront medical abuses of power, working alongside healthcare professionals to protect vulnerable patients.

Special fundraising

Choose a Patient or Fund the Collective

Every campaign is verified by the Foundation, with funds disbursed directly to the hospital. Each campaign displays a secure case code instead of a name, with the condition and the fundraising goal. Donors give to a specific case code or to the general fund, distributed evenly across all current campaigns.
