Join us this Month of LUV to honor Mary’s journey and uplift vulnerable women. Donate $20+ and receive a handcrafted Mary’s Cross ornament—a symbol of transformation. Give, gather, and empower today!

This January, Lift Up the Vulnerable celebrates a monumental milestone — our 20th anniversary. Two decades of empowering and protecting children and women in some of the world’s most devastated warzones. What began in 2005 with a small, dedicated team from Alabama and South Sudan, united by a shared vision to help the most vulnerable children, has blossomed into a global network of over 500 leaders across the US, Kenya, Sudan, and South Sudan.  

As we step into 2025, we’re thrilled to share that we surpassed our year-end fundraising goal and secured our matching grant of $250,000 — doubling the impact of every gift!  Thanks to our supporters, we’re able to protect, educate, and provide economic opportunities in some of the world’s hardest-to-reach places. 

Investing in local leaders like James, Peter, and Salma is vital to our anti-trafficking work in warzones. Along with 176 local leaders, 23 paid interns, 18 farm leaders, and 231 contract workers, these men and women from Sudan and South Sudan are transforming lives and in 2024, they will create safe, supportive spaces for over 1,428 children and support an additional 3,584 family members. 

As we approach the end of 2024, there are opportunities to maximize your impact. Whether you itemize deductions or not, there may be current tax benefits that make now an excellent time to support LUV’s mission.

At Lift Up the Vulnerable (LUV), your support is more than a donation — it’s the catalyst for transformation. Your commitment fuels local leaders who are rebuilding communities in Sudan and South Sudan, offering protection, education, and hope in places where conflict and crisis have left deep scars. This holiday season, we invite you to be part of this mission to bring peace, stability, and opportunity to those who need it most.
