Mission
Lift Them Up International LTU is a faith-based nonprofit located in Midland TX. We work to alleviate the effects of post-genocidal poverty through educational sponsorships and charitable giving. On top of that we promote dignity among those whom we serve and ultimately- a path to self- sufficiency and replication. We partner with reputable local churches and nonprofits who provide boots on the ground to support our operations and to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our target communities. We are currently partnering with churches and nonprofits in Rwanda Iraq Pakistan and Albania. We believe that God is lifting up the nation of Rwanda to be a blessing and an example of success to other countries that have experienced genocide. Our heart is for orphans and widows but we serve refugees and other vulnerable people too.
Program accomplishments
- Child Sponsorship Program- Rwanda. We connected orphans and other vulnerable children in our partner churches in Rwanda with US donors to help meet the spiritual and developmental need of the kids through enrollment in public schools weekly hot meals and tutoring church and community involvement and food and hygeine materials sent home with the children monthly. Also following innitial enrollment we purchased beds blankets wash tubs mosquito nets and Bibles for all of the Sponsored Children. Then at Christmas time we gave donors the opportunity to bless their children with either goats pigs or cows and seeds for planting a garden to help them to become more self-sustainable.Expenses $101,789
- Other programs including School & Orphanage- Pakistan. Together with our US ministry partners we sent funds for purchasing land and building a building that is both a school for 150 children and a full-time orphan home for 24 children. Through Child Sponsorships of the orphan children and other generous giving we have been able to keep the home open and all of the childrens phycial needs met- including doctor bills buying a water buffalo for fresh milk new clothes and shoes school supplies furnature a professional grade RO system for the water a playground solar panels and whatever else they need to keep the children strong and healthy. The school employs 16 teachers and staff and the home employs 4 full-time staff. The school operates year-round and all of the orphan children attend it. Boys and girls of all religions are accepted at the school. Nutrition Program: Pakistan. This program fundraises to provide daily food for the children at the orphan home as well as for special event meals like Resurrection Day and Christmas.
