The Life Campaign is a movement of young people who believe in creating social change. It began with a gathering of Canadian youth leaders who knew they could do more together than they could apart. And from there, it started to grow. It was all about connection, and it reached out to people of all ages. What mattered most was being able to join together to work towards a just world and a hopeful future. Today, in the simplest terms, The Life Campaign is a network of people who know that how we live at home can make a difference on the other side of the world. We’re currently focusing on clean water and education projects in countries where we have people on the ground, so that we can be the hands of Christ in places that need our help. The world is a village, after all, and we believe that we can give love. That we can give life. That we can give hope. Whether we’re working to drill a well or build a school, we know that we can make a change. We can make a difference. We can make decisions that matter. Those leaders were right, after all: we’re greater together than we are apart.
There’s nothing more fundamental than water. And there’s nothing more important. It’s 70% of the planet, after all. Simply put, water is life. Without it, we can’t survive. But even as you read this, there’s a serious water crisis around the world. The United Nations has recognized access to clean water as a human right, but more than 1 billion people can’t get the water they need. That’s one in six of us. The facts tell the story: more than 5000 children die from contaminated water every day. But that’s where The Life Campaign comes in: we’re making it our mission to raise $150,000 in 2009 to add to the $150,000 we raised last year so that we can construct at least 26 wells in 12 countries. We can’t go it alone, though, and we’re going to need your help. If we join together, we can solve one of the most serious problems facing our world today. It doesn’t take much to save a life. It doesn’t take much to save a family. It doesn’t take much to make a change. We all have a part to play, and we’d love to have you with us.
The Life Campaign is based in Canada, but our current mission is to make clean drinking water available to communities in the developing world. We’ve already installed one well in Mozambique, and we’re working on others in Guatemala, Malawi, Ghana and Zimbabwe.


With your help, we’ll finish drilling 26 wells in 12 countries by the end of this year. As the work progresses, we’ll be posting information about the projects so you can stay connected to the people and the places that your donation will be helping. The world is a small place, after all, and we’re all in this thing together. If you join us, we can give the greatest gift of all. The gift of health. The gift of hope. The gift of life.
The funds we’re raising through The Life Campaign are going directly to Emergency Relief and Development Overseas, the Canadian humanitarian organization that will be installing the wells we’re funding. If you’d like to join us, it’s simple. It doesn’t take much to save a life, and even the smallest gestures can make a significant difference.

Alberta raises over $21000…

Sunday, November 1st, 2009 at 8:43 am

Those Crazy Albertans took the Beautiful Day concept and RAN with it.  They raised $21000 plus - and most of it over the course of a weekend.  (It made me proud to have been born in Alberta!).  Just had to celebrate that and know that wells like the one pictured above are being made obsolete by the wells the Life Campaign are putting in around the world.  We have exciting well updates to come - so stay tuned!

    Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to achieve anything

    I smoked cigarettes for several years and stopping was extremely difficult. I used the many stopping methods still not one did any good. Then I stumbled upon the e-cig. The electric cigarette uses a nicotine liquid which is made out of only nicotine. Absolutely no toxic substances at all. They have fortunetly saved my life.

    I wasted money on cigarettes for quite a few years and quitting smoking seemed to be literally impossible. I tried using every one of the quit smoking tricks yet nothing did any good. Then I stumbled upon the e cig. The smokeless cigarette utilizes a nicotine substance which has just nicotine. Not any smelly smoke in the least. They have fortunetly made all the difference.

    All I can think about is cigs. I don’t need to take a hit and if perhaps someone offered a cig today, I’d totally refuse. I feel I’m in a pretty awful emotional state and have had trouble sleeping nevertheless I understand I need to end up being resilient. The e-cigs may help me out in the long run.

    I stopped smoking 3 days ago and its beginning to hit me today. My spouse tells me I will not keep going but I’m so confident on this I can’t fail. recently I began having painful sensations in my lower stomach and I truly am craving a cig. I can’t give in because I am making this effort for my little one. I am fortunate to have the smokeless cigarette. It is often beneficial in my opinion.
