The South African Multidimensional Poverty Index (SAMPI) has measured that the Eastern Cape has the highest poverty level in the country.
Key challenges for our province are education, job creation, skills development, sexual health education (regarding STD’s and unplanned pregnancies) and gender equity due to the high number of female headed households.
LIV focuses on the solution and building community is at the heart of who we are. We exist to bring reconciliation, build capacity through skills development and job creation and to advocate for Christian moral regeneration, and raising up the next generation of leaders in South Africa.
At capacity, LIV Lukhanyiso Village will provide holistic residential care for 500 orphan and vulnerable children with the core vision to RESCUE a child, RESTORE a life, RAISE a leader and RELEASE a star.

“Lukhanyiso” means light in isiXhosa and that is what we want to be, a light to the city of Grahamstown/Makhanda and to the nation and to point people to the Father in heaven.
Just as it says in Matthew 5:14-16: “You are a light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven”.
Lara founded LIV Lukhanyiso after having met LIV Village Founder, Tich Smith in 2011 at a Watoto Choir evening in Ballito where he shared the LIV Vision for South Africa.
It was here that Lara’s heart was captured with LIV and its vision. Since then she has actively, patiently and faithfully been raising funds and creating awareness for LIV and LIV Lukhanyiso.
In 2013 Lara packed up her successful corporate career to pursue a God given dream – to run a marathon on every continent in the world in one year to raise awareness and funds to buy land and build a LIV Village in her home town of Grahamstown (now named Makhanda). Lara completed all seven marathons and raised R200,000 in the process.
In 2014 the perfect piece of land (33ha) was found for the village, but unfortunately it was not for sale. Undeterred, Lara approached the land owner and offered the R200 000 as a deposit to purchase the land, assuring the owner that she would raise the balance of the funds to purchase the land. In August of that same year, the land owner contacted Lara and donated the land for LIV Lukhanyiso.
We have a small team on the ground working together to bring God’s wonderful plan of hope and redemption to the community of Grahamstown/Makhanda.
LIV Lukhanyiso is still in its infancy, but we celebrate every step we take towards the village being a reality. Here are some of our achievements to date, and well as our key focus areas.
