The purpose of Life Bridging Works ILBWI 15 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 focu5. All LBW
activities 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 significant community members, with
the result of advancing the Christian message
and hope to others within the community that
the good work is performed in, This work is
then supported 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. This
year we have been involved in supporting and
furthering the following projects:
The provision of a TB prevention
programme in South Sudan, run and
organised by two former LBW
sponsorship students who are now
medical professionals.
