Our Story
Life Aid International was founded in 2005 by a small group of business and community leaders based in North Queensland and Sydney with a vision to combine and expand their current activities in overseas development work.
The reason for this effort was due to the rapid increase in requests for assistance in community development projects through the contacts these people had in third world and developing nations.
By taking this step to form a registered overseas aid organisation meant that projects could be managed appropriately and be a means through which people and companies could receive taxable deductions in recognition of their partnership in these projects.
Directly prior to becoming a registered charity, Life Aid International assisted in the recovery of 5 villages in Sri Lanka after to disastrous damage caused by the tsunami that ravaged the Indian Ocean coastal Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, India and Sri Lanka.
