How is LifeWind Different and Why Should You Partner with Us?
As a donor, you need to know that your money is being used wisely and efficiently. With LifeWind, one dollar could ultimately end up changing hundreds of lives.
LifeWind is one of the most efficient organizations of its kind. With $3.7 million in 2007, LifeWind managed 357 CHE programs and mobilized more than 19,000 volunteers in virtually every region of the world. In 2007 LifeWind CHE projects are anticipated to have facilitated:
- 22,156 commitments to Christ
- 57,000 homes adopting healthy practices
- 10,544 homes accessing clean water
- 22,000 women receiving perinatal support
- Local growth of 45 new churches
- 50% reduction in infant mortality
- Significant reduction in preventable diseases
How is that possible?
Lifewind is a development, not a relief organization. While relief has its place during disasters, often it used in non-disaster situations. The results are devastating to the community. Rather than creating vibrant, growing villages, it can create pseudo-welfare rolls. People that could plant farms and purify their own water instead stand in food lines. Diseases that could be prevented through minor lifestyle changes are treated at remote clinics.
When the foreign aid evaporates or is restricted by the local government, the people return to starvation. The dollars you spent there will have questionable returns.
With LifeWind, we transform villages through education, training, and the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ.
