Local Initiatives for Education (L.I.F.E.) is dedicated to providing clean drinking water, food, agricultural support, educational resources, and medical care in Africa. As a relief and development organization, we are committed to helping children, their families, and their communities reach their full potential.

Our work is coordinated by staff with a long-term commitment to living in the region. We do not appear just when a project starts and we do not disappear when a task is finished. All our work is in collaboration with local communities and trusted partners in the region. We believe that in order to have lasting value, we need community involvement with local initiatives.

Our work may be summarized under three headings: health, education and relief. Click the links below for our recent project reports, a selection of photographs, and plans we have for future projects.
