I discovered Lifesong several years ago when they provided a matching grant to a friend, helping him to fund the international adoption of his child.
Since then, Lifesong has become my very favorite charity for a couple of reasons:
• They have a holistic, multipronged approach to helping orphans that acknowledges the different hurdles that have to be overcome, and makes a real difference.
• They prioritize sustainability, not only helping orphans directly but also building local businesses that fund their operations and strengthen communities through employment and skills-training.
• Their fiscal responsibility and transparency are unparalleled. Because their administrative costs are covered by profits from committed business partners, 100% of donations go to help orphans.
I will continue to invest all I can in Lifesong, knowing that they use my small contributions astonishingly well.
