Join the Lifting Spirits’ Community!
We welcome every kind donor into the Lifting Spirits’ Community with a big smile and we are excited to show you the difference you are making.
Every single orphan or vulnerable child who is sponsored (£33 per month) is able to gain an education and change the direction of their life. Our team wants you to see these changes taking place and how your support is having a real-life impact.
“We have seen, and continue to see, the truly life-changing impact an education can have, especially for orphans and vulnerable kids. We want to share this uplifting journey with those who very kindly support us,” said Michelle Meineke, Founder and Co-Director of Lifting Spirits. “There are no ‘black holes’ with your donation; it goes directly to support a child in need and it directly changes their future.”
Along with our website and our social media, such as @liftingspirits.charity on Instagram, we share another six updates with our Lifting Spirits’ Community via email and WhatsApp messaging.

As always, please get in touch if you have any questions and ideas for fundraising.
Michelle and fellow Director, James Barry, personally cover all the charity’s costs, including marketing. This means every penny donated goes directly to the children; no ifs, ands or buts.
Lifting Spirits
The team at Lifting Spirits raise money to send orphaned and very vulnerable children to school in Eswatini, a country in southern Africa. Eswatini has one of the world’s highest number of orphans and is one of the world’s poorest nations, yet it is full of children with big smiles and a huge desire to learn. Our fundraising pays for school fees, uniforms, book hire and stationery. We have a Lifting Spirits’ team on-the-ground in Eswatini and we work very closely with our Swazi partners. Every single penny donated goes to the children. 100%.
