GOING TO UNIVERSITY PROJECT
With the support of the Loughborough Student Union, LBI has been able to recruit a group of student volunteers for this Action-Life Beacon Project. In this project we conduct various activities with the students of the college who are either at GCSE’s or A Levels stages where they need to start thinking about what they will do post college. The activities our volunteers conduct with these young people are constructed to help guide the students get ready for university and life in a career. The project has the goal to help young people feel more confident about the decisions they make with regards to their higher education plans or career plans after college. We plan on being able to visit more schools through this same project, and De Lisle College is our first beneficiary.
BACK TO SCHOOL PROJECT
The Life Beacon Back to School project is funded through some of our crowdfunding campaigns, donations, and Loughborough University’s fundraising events. This project focuses on visiting schools within underprivileged communities to donate essential back-to-school items to young students as they prepare to return to school for the new year. We donate books, stationery, and food to the students as well as the teachers. Through our visits, we also have the opportunity to speak to the students and give them words of encouragement and wisdom on the importance of their education.

MOTHER AT BIRTH PROJECT
The Mother at Birth project is a yearly project Life Beacon conducts through crowdfunded donations. We raise funds through out GoFundMe Campaign, as well as our Things To Get Us Campaign. The Loughborough University has also opted to support this project by enabling various fundraising activities of which LBI will be a beneficiary.This project involves going to government hospitals in an underprivileged community. Our Mother @Birth project in 2020 was done in 3 different hospitals in Ghana. More detail on each hospital can be found here. The purpose of the visits are to donate Mum and New born essentials to the new and expecting mother’s at the hospital maternity ward. The idea behind the donations is to bring some joy to the mothers during their first moments of becoming mothers, so perhaps this good memory may empower them in their motherhood- this is henceforth crucial for the domestic environment in which these new born babies are born into.
CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT
Life Beacons is proud to announce the successful execution of our Capacity Building Project, a transformative initiative aimed at equipping individuals with essential academic and professional skills. This project has been carried out across the UK and Ghana, with a significant focus on the University of Ghana Life Beacon Club as the primary beneficiary in Ghana.
Our Capacity Building Project spans a diverse range of workshops designed to foster both academic excellence and entrepreneurial spirit. Participants engage in interactive sessions that cover critical areas such as leadership, innovation, financial literacy, and business development. By providing these comprehensive workshops, we aim to empower individuals to excel in their academic pursuits and entrepreneurial ventures, thereby creating a ripple effect of positive change within their communities.
In Ghana, the University of Ghana Life Beacon Club has been at the forefront of this initiative, benefiting immensely from tailored workshops that address local needs and opportunities. These sessions have not only enhanced the academic capabilities of students but also ignited their entrepreneurial ambitions, preparing them to become future leaders and change-makers.
Life Beacons remains committed to its mission of empowering individuals through education and entrepreneurship. The Capacity Building Project exemplifies our dedication to creating sustainable impact and fostering a brighter future for all participants. We look forward to expanding this initiative and continuing to support the growth and development of our communities.
