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.

More wells on the way…

Friday, April 30th, 2010 at 6:45 am

This is been a ‘waiting’ time for the Life Campaign where proposals and budgets for wells are going back and forth across the world!  We’ve got well proposals in Guinea with “The Hallelujah” well company, windmill proposals coming in Guatemala as electricity isn’t a given at our location, checks happening in Uganda, proposals going back and forth in Senegal and Burkhina Faso… and more!  As a Canadian I want it all to happen ‘now’, like when I hit start on the microwave - but to do it right in developing nations takes time - BUT have been receiving some incredible thank you’s from workers in the areas who have received and are receiving wells…. that rocks!  Our next post we should have some more live new well pics… stay tuned!

    I have learned giving up smoking will be harder than you can imagine. I began smokes when I was really young. It absolutely was the biggest mistake I’ve made. Right now 30 years down the road and I have heart disease. I sampled each of the stopping tips and yet not one worked for me. My last hope is the e-cigarettes in the end.

    I kicked the habit a week ago and it’s starting to make me feel crappy right now. My companion keeps saying I will not get it done however I am so strong about this I will. recently I began having aches inside my stomach and I absolutely would like a puff. I wont give into the craving because I’m quitting smoking for our little one. I’m grateful to have the e-cigarettes. It is often incredibly helpful to me.

    I smoked for several years. I recognize it injures my overall health and so I want to give up smoking yet it is harder than you can imagine. None of the quit smoking techniques helped me stop. Then I came upon the e cig. It has literally made all the difference. No longer breathing in poisons feels extraordinary!

    I smoked for a very long time and kicking the habit appeared to be almost impossible. I used the different stop smoking techniques however not one thing helped me. Then I heard about the smokeless cigarettes. The electric cigarette utilizes a nicotine juice that contains simply nicotine. No poisons in the least. They’ve already virtually made all the difference.
