The lives of Dr. Albert Schweitzer and Mother Theresa and their work with poor people inspired Jean Stewart as a little girl. Her friend and co-founder, Yvonne Jaques, told her about a one hectare site in Drummond south of Lanseria Airport which they consequently rented from the Methodist Church. From 1991 to 2005 they established a primary health care clinic which incorporated home based care and Tuberculosis management programs, a hospice, a school and a shelter for abandoned children. This was done with the help of numerous volunteers and donors. The site became too small for all the activities and the project site moved to the present project area north of Lanseria Airport during 2005.

The arts encourage learning as a process of discovery that engages the whole child – body, mind, and heart. Research has shown that exposure and learning in the arts nurtures the development of cognitive, social, and personal competencies. In pursuing our goal to provide children and young artists with meaningful and beneficial educational experiences in the arts, the Life Through Art Foundation has developed programs that are meant to engage students on multiple levels. The first step in opening a child’s world to the arts is exposing them to the diversity of artistic mediums that exist. By sending children to museums, concerts, plays, and galleries, the Life Through Art Field Trip program provides public school children with opportunities to see, hear, and experience the arts first hand. Life Through Art Foundation has created a multi-tiered educational partnership program. The Innovation Program was created for teachers interested in exploring their own creativity in building bridges between the arts and other disciplines. The program teaches these educators how they can harness creative expression by establishing a safe, supportive environment where their students can create and learn more about art.

LifeForce is the registered charity based at Satpura Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, India, initiating and supporting tiger conservation programmes. To conserve the tiger is to conserve forest ecosystems which contribute to global life-support systems (as with jaguars in South America, lions in Africa etc). Whilst exotic species might seem distant from our everyday needs, the healthy maintenance of remote ecosystems helps to ensure the maintenance of local ecosystems and hence our own future in terms of availability of clean air, fresh water and the viability of cultivation and animal husbandry.

Lifeforce is a non-profit Vancouver based ecology organization that was formed in 1981. We promote animal rights and ecological responsibility. In order to develop a non-violent society we must extend our circle of compassion to include all sentient creatures with whom we share this planet. We are based in Canada but our work has no boundaries. As part of Lifeforce's work, we have developed a new concept called "Health Rights". This concept reinforces the basic principle that all sentient beings - human and non-human - are entitled to a healthy life. Unethical, unnecessary scientific experiments using "animal models" (taking healthy animals and inflicting on them human diseases and injuries) are a violation of Health Rights. We support the study of naturally-occurring maladies through research that is conducted humanely and is scientifically justifiable.

We began planning a response to the growing number of young people at risk of homelessness and teenage parenting, back in 2002. We began thinking and praying about what we could do, planning, researching and networking to gain a better understanding of the issues and the need. Homelessness is a crisis situation many young people and young parents face, with a lack of affordable accommodation and a great shortage of supported accommodation on the Gold Coast, many find themselves living in unsuitable or crisis accommodation and turning to crime, prostitution or drugs to cope with their situation. We realised that Lifehouse Project could provide support to young people and make a difference in our community.

Lifeline was founded in 1963 by the late Reverend Dr Sir Alan Walker, after he received a call by a distressed man, who three days later took his own life. Determined not to let loneliness, isolation or anxiety be the cause of other deaths, Sir Alan launched a crisis line, which operated out of the Methodist Central Mission in Sydney. Lifeline’s services now operate from 60 locations nationally, with a presence in every State and Territory within Australia. Lifeline is part of an international network, and through its affiliation with LifeLine International has Centres in nineteen countries. Lifeline is also a member of theVolunteer Emotional Support Helplines (VESH) network. This network of Volunteer Helplines provides services in 61 countries around the world.

Lifeline Family Center is a home dedicated to saving the unborn, and providing young women in unplanned pregnancies with a comprehensive educational program in a safe secure Christian home. Our goal is to enable them to redirect their lives and become self-supporting within two years after the birth of their child. We are unique in that we are not only concerned with saving a baby from abortion, but also with saving the child from a life of poverty and neglect. We care as much about the mother as we do the child, and our program addresses the needs of both. A young woman coming to Lifeline Family Center is given the gift of hope by our providing her a home, scholarship opportunities and care for her child while she pursues an education for a career. This allows her to become self-supporting. Lifeline Family Center provides services without the assistance of governmental agencies. We strive in providing the highest standards of life and education for our residents.

From this point continued assistance is offered to enable people to secure suitable accommodation, to be supported to maintain their tenancies, and helped to access initiatives to carry their lives forward.

We strengthen local leaders, utilize local resources, and produce sustainable results. We help people find solutions to their problems, enhancing the dignity and capabilities of the people we are privileged to serve. We are about lasting change, not temporary relief.

Relief is necessary to save lives, and when such emergencies occur we work to support agencies dedicated to that purpose.

LIFEWISE is an Auckland-based community organisation initiating new ways to solve challenging social issues and providing services to families in need, the homeless as well as older and disabled people. We can trace our roots back over 150 years as part of the Methodist Church of New Zealand, meeting the changing needs of Aucklanders as the city grew and developed.

This means providing the services and support needed for individuals and families to improve their future, as well as supporting communities who are developing their own ways to meet their social needs.
