The Roger H. Strait Foundation educates and brings healing to communities marginalized by war and disaster by establishing educational opportunities and providing medical training. In grateful partnership with DeoDance International, the Foundation has participated in bringing dance into these communities to release the power of joy and spiritual healing. The financial support model for DeoDance International is to guide and assist company members in creating their own businesses with the goal of financing their DeoDance division with their personal funds. This process requires high commitment, while establishing strong connections with community artists. After seasons of social unrest, DeoDance has been helping company members establish a presence in refugee communities.
