Para 1.17 and
1.19
The purpose of Life Bridging Works ILBWI is to
give a hand up not a hand-out. This means that
the empowering of local, indigenous leaders is
at the core of the charity's focus. All LBW
actlvities in this period continued to be
performed in conjunction with local,
indigenously led churches that we have a
connection with. These good works in turn
naturally warm people to the church and
empower si8nificant community members,
with the result of advancing the Christian
message and hope to others within the
communty that the good work is performed in.
This work is then 5UPPOrted by our specialist
teams and UK based trustees who are in
contact both through virtual communication
and through physical travel to see the projects
in their location. Thi5 year has brought growth
in a number of the activities that take place
through the support of the local church..
Hiring another Top05an Bible translator
so that this project may continue to
grow and see its goal reached.
Meeting with key leaders in
conference5 in a number of countries

for teaching. fellowship and vision
setting.
EnablinB the purchase of land for
another safe house to support
vulnerable individuals and families who
are fleeing from persecution and

Life Bridging Works helps advance education of
the public by:
Providing education to d isadvantaged
children through two sponsorship
Schemes. We currently sponsor 24
children and young people from an
area of Southern Sudan who attend
Kuleu Lights School. There are many
orphans and disadvantaged children
there due to the recent conflict. From
our original sponsorship scheme with
the Toposa people we continue to also
support I student through to their
University level studies in Medicine.
The remaining students that we
sponsored through university are now
returning to support the community
that they are from in a number of
different ways. Our second sponsorship
scheme runs in Alebtongi Northern
Uganda, at Blessed Hope School where
we are 5UPPOrting the m05t in need
children from these deprived areas.
There are currently 25 children being
supported on this scheme. So, in tota
we are sponsoring 49 children/young
people. We hope to use the finances
that we have been using for the
original sponsorship scheme to

increase our Primary education
schemes in South Sudan.
Development of educational
establishments. We are currently
raising funds for a primary school in
Ethiopia working primarily with girls.
Life Bridging Works helps provide relief of

those who cannot attend the clinic.
