Lifted Strong Build Up Program 

LISCO’s Build Up Program is a 6-month program that supports women living with HIV and other life traumas. By participating in the program, the women (known as the Mamas) learn the necessary skills to be self-sufficient including English, business, and health education classes.

Your donations will be allocated to the following items

$15 USD for annual health insurance that provides basic coverage for the mama, her spouse, and her dependents
$10 USD for a business permit cost which allows the mama to sell legally in local markets rather than limiting her to door to door sales
$25 USD to $100 USD for micro-finance loans to start or improve their business
 

Lifted Strong Mama Kuku Program

LISCO's Mama Kuku Program is designed to set up each of the mamas with their own functioning and profitable chicken business. Breeding chickens is one of the most effective ways for individuals in emergent economies to start earning a sustainable source of income to support themselves and their families. 

Your donations will be allocated to the following items

$100 USD for each chicken coop
$41 USD for each flock including 5 hens and 1 rooster
