Delivering Dignity one LifeKit at a time
Our Why:
LifeKit is a 501c3 based in Los Angeles County whose main purpose is to alleviate the burden of the homeless population and create community consciousness amongst all stakeholders.
Our organization is named after the LifeKits that we hand out, because we believe granting individuals dignity through these basic hygiene items is an immediate necessity. A LifeKit can contain many different types of items depending on the campaign and the wants and needs of the community we are serving. They can be comprehensive survival kits for 7 or 10 days or contain all the essential school supplies needed for kids to go to school and learn effectively. To learn more about specific LifeKits check out our campaign pages.
The world is moving on, but some people are still left behind. Technology has transformed our lives, but it still hasn’t reached everyone.
If given the right tools, what people can do with them is only limited by their imagination. At Bern, we believe that we can help people live better lives, learn new skills and enhance their productivity.
We believe the next generation of breakthrough discoveries will come from people in Developing countries. It excites us to wonder what amazing things people will create in the future.
