What is Life Uplifted by Change In Africa (LUCIA) ?

LUCIA is a registered charity that improves the lives of people living in troubled areas of Africa. We believe that the key to positive change is to help the African people, particularly women, to help themselves via education and long term self sustainable development projects. In turn, this reduces reliance on international aid.

Instead of simply giving repeated hand-outs of food or money, LUCIA works towards empowering African communities and individuals, so that they can become self sufficient and then go on to help others to do the same. LUCIA does occasionally use a small amount of its money to fund emergency relief work, as we recognise that some communities will need this in order to reach the sustainable development phase.
