According to the face of the foundation, he has not faced any challenges despite being a one-man initiative. He also disclosed that it encourages him to help people and bring smiles to their faces. βIt started about four-and-a-half years ago, when we started, I started in my home (Oke-Ode). I brought some doctors from California and gave intensive health care treatment for them.
I have not faced any challenges because I am up to the task that is why it is called Herculean, there is no challenge and I have not seen any that I can't defeat. It's been a successful journey because when you help people and you see the smile on their faces, it encourages me. Herculean Foundation have been all over, We have gone through all communities in Ifelodun LGA. We have been to Omupo, Amoyo, Oreke, Oruago, Ora, Babanloma, Idofian, and Offa. This is a one-man action, not an action where the government is funding me. I am funding the organization because in Nigeria it is difficult to donate, they don't. But if it is a party they would donate. I am founding it systematically and I have to make it work for me.
We can't depend on being sustained by the government, so as a foundation we have taken it upon ourselves to reach out and alleviate poverty amongst our people to the best of our ability and with your help we can do more. They said the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step hoping at the end of the thousand miles many lives would have been touched by us.
Our goals is to reach out to as many as possible across Nigeria and a west Africa as a whole our land is ridden in poverty, a continent rich but yet so poor.

According to the face of the foundation, Mr. Christopher Omotunde, the foundation is aimed to elevate and help people in the Africa.
It's easier to take than to give. It's nobler to give than to take. The thrill of taking lasts a day. The thrill of giving lasts a lifetime.
Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics, it's about the experience, it's about participation, it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious.
Fundraising is the gentle art of teaching the joy of giving.β Charity begins at home but should not end there.β
