About Us

Life in Abundance International works with seven nations of Africa, in partnership with churches for Community Wholistic Transformation

LIA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a 509(a)(2) public charity, physically located in Pasadena, California (USA Office), Addis Ababa , Ethiopia (International and Ethiopia Offices) and Nairobi, Kenya (Regional Office). Established as a formal U.S. non-profit organization in 2002 by Dr. Florence Muindi, LIA has tirelessly served Africa's urban and rural poor. Our mission remains unchanged: "To declare the glory of God to all the nations, His marvelous deeds to all people through holistic integrated programs in partnerships with churches (Psalm 96:3)." LIA exists such that our vision may become a reality, that "they [the urban and rural poor that we serve] may have life and have it in abundance (John 10:10b)."

Though the implementation of our ministry can be fairly complex, the foundation of the ministry is quite simple. In partnership with existing local Christian churches and organizations throughout seven east African countries, LIA implements wholistic (body, mind, and spirit) community based interventions as solutions to critical global concerns. Such concerns range from HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention, to poverty alleviation, to orphans and vulnerable children. Please see how you can get involved...
