LIJIF Vision Statment:

LIJIF, Inc. is a non-profit initiative to mobilize the world community to respond to the under privileged people. LIJIF is working to eradicate poverty through educational, social involvementy, medical, spiritual and technical assistance one person at a time.

• We wish to fund projects worldwide that will enhance the lives of the world’s at-risk populations while giving them a unique chance to thrive. In so doing, we will help save hundreds of thousands of lives by supplying malaria treatments and other medicines to at-risk populations who have the need.
  
  
• We intend to supply preventative AIDS drugs to pregnant women and at-risk populations affected by HIV and AIDS. Concurrently, we will help coordinate medical mission trips to different countries and establish close working relationships with existing programs and services through our collaborative team approach.
  
  
• Most third world outreach programs provide only one meal per day, which usually consists of less than 400 calories. We intent to support feeding programs that make it possible for hungry at-risk populations to have the food necessary to thrive. These programs greatly increase the life chances of these at-risk populations and give them a better chance of reaching adulthood and living productive lives.
  
  
• Since Africa is mostly an agrarian culture, most farmers are only able to produce enough food, crops and livestock to feed their own families. With women doing 75% of the labor, we intend to help empower them and make accessible educational and vocational tools with integrated resources needed which will improve their methods of production for consumption.
  
  
• Through these co-operative and integrated efforts, sustenance farmers can modernize production methods, increase yields and have surplus to sell after meeting family needs. Life In Jesus International Foundation, Inc will support local farmers and make resources available for the creation of farming co-ops, rice and energy production, which will help farmers grow more food for local consumption and for export purposes.
  
  
• Nets treated simply with insecticide can reduce the chances of getting malaria by 80%. We will supply nets to at-risk populations in need through collaborations with existing grass root organizations and local churches. We will fund the contracting of individuals to spray inside homes and under eaves for mosquito eradication. This will reduce the $25 billion dollars cost that the world spends each year on the effects of malaria.
  
  
• Clean water will stop nearly 80% of all communicable diseases. Life In Jesus International Foundation, Inc will support the drilling of water wells and water recovery projects in areas where clean water is not available and help provide anti-bacterial water filters where needed.
  
  
• By being a part of a collaborative effort that works in conjunction with government officials, village leaders, families, social service agencies, and global initiative organizations, we can begin the change that will lead to at-risk populations receiving immigration legal services, vocational education and making affecting life changes needed to thrive. In turn, they make a difference in their generation, communities, nation and the world.
  
  
• Give Initial Operating Capital to certified students to start businesses that can help enhance lives and pass on the commitment to others thus decreasing the volume of employment seekers.

We are there for all at-risk populations regardless of race or religion and any other artificial criteria. We are committed to raising the funds needed, which will enable us to help feed, clothe, educate and provide necessities to enable at-risk populations to have a better life, facilitate hope for the future and learn to believe. Our participants and their families will become empowered through our holistic services so they become the generation of tomorrow. A generation, which learns to speak and see for those who cannot.
We intend to build the new facilities as the funds become available which will allow each center the time schedule, which allows for optimum self-sustaining revenue.

International opinion considers Uganda to be ahead of the curve in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. According to POZ Magazine, "The government of Uganda has responded to HIV in a relatively proactive way since the beginning, declaring a national campaign against AIDS in 1986. Since then, messages extolling condoms have taken over local billboards and radio announcements in this East African country, a campaign credited with reducing infection rates by 25 percent over the past decade.

According to a report by the AIDS Control Programme of the Health Ministry in Uganda, 1,438,000 people in Uganda - over seven percent of Uganda's population, carry the HIV virus. Out of those with the virus, 761,300 are women, 532,900 men and 143,800 are children under 12 years. The report went on to say that more than a million children are orphaned by AIDS, with some children under 15 finding themselves heading families. In some communities, only the children and the elderly remain, thus threatening Uganda's socio-economic strata, where the economic mainstay in agricultural-based subsistence that needs energetic people.

Life In Jesus International Foundation, Inc. is going to come in and fill in the gaps between resources and application thereof. We intend to use all the resources available to help build a community with hope and faith. The community will implement formal educational standards which will be effectively and efficiently facilitated. Life In Jesus International Foundation, Inc already has the tools and technology that will make this readily achievable.

The mission is basic education for the at-risk populations, which allows for quality of life development, which allows our participants and clients to grow, prosper, succeed and become responsible good citizens.
