Mission: We believe anyone can thrive. Yet without the right opportunities and influence, many stop believing in themselves. We teach individuals with social and economic disadvantages how to identify and apply their unique strengths to become self-sufficient.

Programs: Global women's empowerment program (gwe) targets women with leprosy and aids. Gwe is a year-long, women-led family empowerment program that seeks to end the cycle of extreme poverty and social isolation in kore. We use a "hand up" approach to help women in kore lift themselves out of poverty through technical business management training, intense monitoring, and the provision of startup capital. Gwe has three main program components: economic empowerment, urban agriculture, and a production center. Integrated into each of these approaches is a leadership development pathway to elevate the women in our programs as leaders in the kore community. By year end, 180 women had successfully graduated from gwe.

global mission trips: i pour life host teams of professionals and volunteers to provide social capital to families in the kore community. Our team of professionals provide professional medical development with partnering hospitals and also host clinics to families in kore. Other professionals provide business training and empowerment to female entrepreneurs. Volunteers provide empowerment and improvement to the lives of women in our programs and orphans in the community. Volunteers also serve partners in the areas of education, medical and church related activities.

lifestrengths: i pour life created lifestrengths, a scalable and aggressive development system for at-risk youth. Socially isolated youth who are seasoned in the foster care and judicial systems or are living in generational poverty need consistent lifecoaching to break the patterns of government assistance to which they have become accustomed. By addressing critical discrepancies in their lives through a strengths-based coaching approach, youth are able to develop positive behaviors and make choices that change the trajectory of their lives. Lifestrengths youth are nominated from the foster care and judicial systems, as well as local high schools and alternative schools. Upon entering lifestrengths, youth are paired with an on-staff lifecoach with whom they meet in person weekly. Over twelve months, lifecoaches build relationships with youth and guide them through the i pour life-developed lifestrengths curriculum, which focuses on development in identity, education, finances, and independence.
