Welcome to LIFT (Liberian Initiative for Transformation)
LIFT is a multi-culture communit, faith-based organization established by the Brooklyn United Methodist Church to address the issue of HIV/AIDS and the Gospel or Coram. It is located in Hennepin County, which holds more than half of the African Immigrant population living in Minnesota - and some of its staffs, board members and volunteers are religious and community leaders within the target population and bring personal knowledge of the needs that faced the community.

LIFT's mission is to bridge the gap between the African-born traditions and religions, so that cultural and religious values can accommodate preventive education, testing and counseling. Our vision is to see that African Immigrants with HIV/Aids, who have been living with stigma and fear find families full of love, knowledge, and good medical care so they can live happily and be physically and psychologically contributing members of society.

Past, Present and Future Activities
LIFT has directly and indirectly helped over 100 families with HIV/Aids preventive education and referrals within the African Immigrant communities. We have build partnerships with community and religious leaders in the community and enjoy the trust and confident. In addition, we have established a formal collaboration through a memorandum of understanding with African Health Action Inc and African Challenges Corporation.
