Our mission
At the origin of LIFE, there was a dream. That of leaving a positive and lasting impression on this earth. Today, an entire team is working to make this world a place of peace and social progress.
LIFE is an international solidarity NGO whose aim is to provide adapted assistance to vulnerable populations, in emergency or development situations. Our objective is to contribute to the consolidation or restoration of their living conditions, in particular, through access to drinking water, sanitation, hygiene and food security. We act with respect for human dignity, with commitment and a sense of innovation. Since 2009, our NGO has gradually been structured and professionalized. At the beginning of 2021, work to redefine the mandate, values and mission made it possible to anchor our associative project.

Following a trip to Cameroon, the founders decided to launch Project 99 to provide access to water and education to 33 beneficiary villages, with an original idea: 1 project = 1 donor
2012
Launch of projects
LIFE is hard at work to build the 99 projects financed by 99 Donors. LIFE supports some donors in the field so that they see their project come out of the ground.
