Property Ownership – The chains of generational poverty begin breaking with the ability to own property – whether a school uniform, a bicycle, a moto, or a home. LightBridge provides opportunities to earn or be gifted property such as:

    • Animals – Purchasing or being gifted animals provides nourishment and income potential for those in abject poverty

    • Land/Home Ownership – Through dignified labor, employees are able to earn funds and learn how to budget thereby providing the funds needed for land or home ownership.

    • Bikes & Motos – Children and adults in our programs are awarded, gifted, or loaned funds (low or no interest) to own bikes and motos, empowering them to have transportation for school & work.

    • Computers – Through our University Sponsorship program, students are gifted a computer to use for their university studies and beyond.
