Up magazine features LIFE

In a recent article, Up magazine tackles a sensitive question: the ultimate goal of humanitarian work, which is to complete the mission and enable local people to become self-reliant.

Our organisation, LIFE, is cited as an example of this approach. We share the view that the independence of individuals and communities is essential. As our Executive Director, Fanny Fernandes, points out, our ultimate aim is to withdraw from the regions where we work, leaving behind communities that can stand on their own.

This approach, built on co-creation and partnership with local actors, has guided our work since we were founded in 2009. By working closely with the communities we support, we help them build independent and lasting development.

Up magazine also stresses how important it is for humanitarian organisations not to create dependency, a principle that is fully part of our approach. As an NGO, we are committed to standing alongside people in need while giving them the tools they need to become self-reliant in the long term.

Join us in our mission by supporting LIFE today.
