The newest set of gym plates is finally complete! 🇿🇼

A big shoutout to Dani () and her hard work behind the scenes fundraising to make this possible, as well as Audrey () on the ground coordinating the creation 💪💪🏾

A key cornerstone of Lift4Life’s work is working with local welders and casters in the making of our racks and plates, to ensure employment opportunities. It isn’t without challenges, including electricity shortages, but through hard work and perseverance magic happens. We can’t wait to see all the gains to come from this new set!

We love to see collaborations and the uplifting that comes from Powerlifting!

A few months ago The Emergency Project (.project) travelled to Zimbabwe, providing medical outreach to communities. Lift4Life community coordinator Audrey () was a huge factor to the success on the ground, and we are so in awe of everything they accomplished.

We are working on some exciting projects behind the scenes! 🇿🇼

💪🏾Zimbabwe athletes are currently training hard for African Championships in July 2024. First stop to make this happen is raising their membership fees to compete internationally ($400 IPF fee, $250 African Powerlifting fee).

💪🏾We are currently raising funds to build a new set of equipment in Zimbabwe for community use - the rack costs $480 USD, and plates are $5 USD per kg.

Interested in donating? Donations can be made directly on our website, through our PayPal, and etransfer to [email protected]

Interested in being a long term partner? We have a monthly Uplifters giving program.

Hosting your own charity event is also a great way to raise funds for Lift4Life! We even have a meet toolkit (linked in our bio) as a helpful resource to help you host a Lift4Life charity meet.
