“Delivering Self Sufficiency & Life Management Skills to those living on the Street”

Unite Live Aid’s “Self Sufficiency & Life Management Program” aims to give the homeless a second chance in life. 

Through Eco-village developments in impoverished countries and regions as well as Foundational Village Programs in more developed countries, such as Australia, for those suffering from homelessness.

Australia is a leading country when it comes to a world class health care system, however the country still suffers the ills of those who are unable to establish a basic framework to live and sustain a purpose driven life. 

We are prepared to establish a framework and benchmark for uplifting those struggling using research, technology, education, and compassion for those who have lost their way into homelessness. 

With an intensive on-site program, Unite Live Aid will rehabilitate and prepare those suffering homelessness for a life of relative normality using a framework based on a Holistic “Village-based” & Recovery oriented approach; this includes teaching Basic life management, health promotion and prevention, work skills and entry level employment development, technological access, drug, alcohol and social harmony programs.

Unite Live Aid’s “Self-sufficiency & Life Management Program” is a tailored program which will give an all-round guide to improve the lifestyle, standard of living and purpose. The main aim is to help them achieve a life off the streets, contributing and benefiting from a life engaged in a purposeful existence.
