In 2002, in honor of the Kalahari San Bushmen and the Maasai Warriors and to benefit indigenous peoples, Dr. Lewis became the Founding Director of Global Voice Foundation, a fiscal sponsorship of Legacy Global Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization. GVF has provided water pumps, corn-threshers, education, food, medicine, and clothing. In 2018, GVF began working with Radio France's Radio Ndjoku in the Central African Republic to provide two jobs for the BaAka Peoples, giving voice to their everyday challenges, as well as to their music, which was recorded by Louis Sarno over the course of thirty years.
