About us
Welcome to the Talisman Turtle Project™!
The Talisman Turtle Project™ is an initiative designed to support underprivileged children in our community by providing them with educational resources, mentorship, and opportunities for enriching activities. While we are in the process of becoming officially recognized as a nonprofit organization, our commitment to fostering mental health, promoting physical activities, and offering safe community spaces remains unwavering. We aim to help children develop their potential and discover new opportunities for success.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower underprivileged communities by involving them in the production and sale of Talisman Turtle™ keychains and necklaces. The proceeds from these sales are reinvested into community development projects, including clean water initiatives, educational programs, and healthcare services.
Empowering Communities, One Talisman at a Time
At the Talisman Turtle Project™, we believe in the power of community and the strength of resilience. Our unique Talisman Turtle™ keychains and necklaces are more than just accessories; they are icons of longevity, protection, and stability. Each piece is crafted with care by local artisans from underprivileged communities, providing them with sustainable livelihoods and a platform to showcase their talents.
We specifically sell talismans to businesses making bulk purchases of 100 or more to reward employees or as promotional items for clients. We believe in Corporate Social Responsibility and help to promote businesses and organizations who want to demonstrate their support for good causes!

Our Founder and CEO
Dieter Homburg
At 85 years old, I am not tired of life, but rather, I am ready to bring joy to underprivileged kids who need a new start! I am retired and tired of being retired, so I am working on bringing some joy to kids who have nothing and need some help getting off the ground.
I have decades of experience in entrepreneurship and a passion for social impact. I lead the strategic vision of Talisman Turtle™!
My Philosophy:
1. “You’re never too old to help a kid.”
2. “Age is just a number when it comes to helping kids.”
3. “Every age has the power to make a difference.”
4. “Helping kids: A timeless act of kindness.”
5. “No age limit on making a child’s day brighter.”
6. “Generations united in support of children.”
7. “Wisdom and youth: A perfect partnership.”
8. “Empowering kids, one generation at a time.”
9. “From experience to inspiration: Helping kids thrive!”
