UntoLIFE MISSION:
Raising Hope, Community, and Futures
Vision Statement: UntoLIFE is a faith based charitable organization dedicated to raising community, fostering hope and inspiring futures for people of all ages impacted by poverty, gender based violence, and forced displacement.
Purpose: UntoLIFE is a Pennsylvania based nonprofit organization founded in 2010, with a specific purpose to bring “hope in action”, by serving the needs of underprivileged communities, orphans, migrant/refugee groups, and survivors of human trafficking.
Extreme poverty, gender based violence, and forced displacement are experienced by millions of people worldwide. These situations are fundamental determinants of social inequality for individuals, families, and especially, children. Victims and survivors often forgo hope as they endure trauma, loss of basic needs, lack of education and opportunities for employment, the inability to further socioeconomic status, mental and physical health problems, and struggles with perceptions of family harmony, societal honor, and personal well being.
Activities: UntoLIFE focuses primarily on connecting children and young adults to life changing resources and communities integrated in society. We allow people to express their hopes, interests, needs and cultural values as we develop and evaluate our activities and contributions. Our approach includes protecting children and walking alongside young adults and families as they use resources and make choices about their future and life direction. UntoLIFE has collected and distributed funds to projects working with survivors of human trafficking, medically challenged babies and children that are abandoned and neglected. We have also developed and funded unique education, job training, and employment opportunities for young men and women from underprivileged communities. We contribute to research and collaboration activities for peer reviewed publishing. We believe these efforts are vital in raising collective wisdom amongst organizations and businesses with similar vision and purpose.
Our projects and activities focus primarily on connecting children and young adults to:
-
The love and hope of Jesus Christ
-
Friends and family that positively impact quality of life
-
Resources such as education medical and legal services
-
Job training opportunities, and employment in viable job sectors
-
Communities that support physical, mental, and emotional well being
