ABOUT ESF
The valuable life lessons learned while growing up on a farming ranch have given
Tom Mower Sr. a profound respect for every living thing. His early training still
permeates every facet of his life. His long-standing commitment to improve health
and overall quality of life while safeguarding people and the environment is what
Mr. Mower has most recently coined "SISEL Safe." This philosophy is the driving
force behind all his products, and now it is the underpinning of the Earth Stewardship
Foundation.
Tom's deep love and respect for nature and wildlife has driven him to actively support
the responsible treatment and preservation of wildlife and its environment for most
of his life. As Tom's success soared, so did his philanthropy, and the dwindling
numbers of very rare animals like the Sumatran Rhino, Siberian Tiger, European Red
Deer, and African Elephant have all been benefactors of his compassion. When hearing
of the near extinction of the American White Buffalo, Tom bought a ranch solely
dedicated to the conservation of this majestic animal and its habitat.
More than twenty years ago, a simple documentary on orphanages led Tom to find and
fund projects that have been improving the lives of disadvantaged, helpless children.
One such project took place many years ago in St. Petersburg, Russia. Through concerned
Distributors, he happened to hear of a school for handicapped children that was
providing love and safety, but the kind-hearted women who started the program were
desperately poor. Although there was an abundance of love, food and other provisions
were meager.
When hearing of their plight, Tom immediately flew to their aid. He bought decent
beds, furniture, and toys, and donated safe products to improve their daily hygiene
and health. Huge containers of shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, and toothpaste
were contributed year after year. Eventually his exemplary leadership caught the
attention of the government, and now this school enjoys the support and funding
of the government as well.
Tom's lifelong resolve to care for and nurture the most vulnerable and innocent
is now leading SISEL to form partnerships and find worthy projects. His philanthropy
is both personal and professional. On top of his individual donations to ESF, Tom
has pledged to match all donations with his own related contributions. In addition,
he has decided that SISEL will also absorb the administrative and overhead costs.
Thanks to Tom's direction, the ESF is working with existing organizations that provide
a safe haven for children, wildlife, and environment.
Join us in our resolution to care for and protect those that are the most vulnerable
and innocent.
