Give and Live
Give and Live is a nonprofit charity providing disadvantaged children in Southeast Asia with learning opportunities by supplying educational materials, building facilities and providing food, clothing, shelter and related necessities.
The purposes of Give and Live are:
1) To help alleviate poverty by teaching the English language, providing appropriate learning materials and establishing suitable educational facilities in order to empower less fortunate peoples to help themselves.
2) To improve the lives of individuals, families or communities in developing countries by creating direct, symbiotic partnerships with sponsorship individuals or groups.
3) To assist in marketing indigenous products and help secure fair compensation for the makers of these products.
4) To give indigenous or displaced peoples the tools and knowledge necessary to obtain and sustain healthy, quality lives as vital, contributing world citizens.
CURRENT PROJECTS:
Brain Food
You can’t learn on an empty stomach. Many poor children get a meager meal in the morning and not much more at night, so we support school lunch programs for select kids at rural Thai schools. We currently sponsor 58 kids, but thousands more need help.
Dollar-a-day Sponsorships
For one dollar a day, you can take care of most of the essential needs of one of the 32 kids at Children’s Garden orphanage. Though you’ll find some info here, please contact us via email (info@giveandlive.org) as we’re sorting out the program since some children have moved on and some sponsors have dropped out.
Kewsua School Dorm/Education
Hill tribe kids can’t walk miles through the jungle, twice a day, to get the education they deserve. Their current dormitory is one place you’d never want to spend one night. We’re partnering with enthusiastic, volunteer extraordinaire Stacia Davis who lives and teaches onsite and will oversee the construction with the villagers of Kewsua.
