give for life

Messagefrom our CEO

JamesBryant

After extensive experience working in a variety of charitable organisations, I became increasingly frustrated at the polictics and red tape required for real people wishing to gain funding to improve their lives.

Lifeforce was conceived in 2009 to enable funding to be provided quickly and more easily without the extensive red tape associated commonly associated with other charities. It gives me enormous satisfaction to have grown so quickly and to have helped so many.

Lifeforcehistory

2008 -

Alongside experienced field workers throughout the world, the scope and mission of Lifeforce was born. The planning stage went to a full scale proposal for the charity.

2009 -

The birth of LFO finally came to fruition in May 2009 after lengthy consultation sessions. By the end of 2009 we had secured sufficent funding to start delivering aid.

2010 -

Starting in Africa, during 2010 we had spread our support network throught all of the continents of the world, delivering

over $195,000 of aid internationally.
2011 -

We formally introduced project directors for Africa, Europe, Asia and Latin America to provide more opportunity to ensure grants were being given to the most needy cases. Our Lifeforce volunteer program was also introduced in June and has grown quickly since then. $260,000 of aid was issued in 2011.

2012 -

We are delighted to start the year in a strong position with more funding than ever before. We project that by the end of 2012 we will have provided over $1,000,000 of support to international communities and families.

OurMission

To provide aid, support and funding for families and communities in financially challenged situations. We are not tied to fixed funding pre-requistes for the people we help, we prefer to analyse the needs and scope of people on a case to case basis. Our project directors work at grass roots level to ensure every penny that is donated to Lifeforce is spent with love and intelligence.
