Meant 2 Live Foundation

A night of music can do more than bring people together.

On June 5, Cade Thompson Red Street Records artist, will perform at a special benefit concert supporting Meant 2 Live Foundation's efforts to rebuild the St. Abanoub school campus in Zambia following severe flooding earlier this year.

Hosted by St. Timothy and St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church and produced by IMPACT Collective, this event represents a community coming together to help create safe learning spaces where children can continue learning, growing, and building their future.

For us, this effort is about more than restoring classrooms. It is about supporting the students who walk into them every day with dreams, potential, and a desire to learn.

We are grateful for every person, organization, and partner who continues to support this mission and the communities we serve.

Can you guess what they’re studying? Some are learning how to solve equations. Some are learning how to read and write with confidence. Some are beginning to believe that their dreams and goals are possible too.

These learning spaces were made possible through the support of people who chose to care for the future of these children and communities.

As we prepare for the upcoming Cade Thompson benefit concert on June 5 supporting classroom rebuilding efforts in Zambia, we’re reminded how meaningful it can be when people come together to help create spaces where students feel supported, encouraged, and hopeful for what’s ahead.

Over the years, music has continued to bring people together in support of the mission and impact of Meant 2 Live Foundation.

Throwback to one of M2L’s past fundraising concerts featuring Big Daddy Weave, We Are Messengers, and Plumb, produced by IMPACT Collective in support of the work being done within the communities M2L continues to serve.

Moments like these are a reminder of how much can happen when people come together with generosity, purpose, and a shared heart for helping others.

As we prepare for the upcoming Cade Thompson benefit concert on June 5 supporting the rebuilding efforts of the St. Abanoub campus in Zambia following severe flooding earlier this year, we remain deeply grateful for everyone who has supported these efforts over the years and to those who will be joining us for the first time.

There are moments in life that change the way we see the world and our place in it.

Through mission work, individuals are given the opportunity to serve others, build meaningful connections, and experience the impact that compassion and faith can have within a community.

For many who have participated in these experiences, the journey became more than a trip. It became a reminder that service, presence, and love can leave a lasting impact on both the people we meet and ourselves.

We are grateful for every person who has chosen to step forward with open hearts and a willingness to serve.

With more mission opportunities ahead, we hope more people will feel called to be part of the journey.

Sometimes, the calling to make a difference begins with simply being willing to show up.

Learning gives children the opportunity to discover their strengths, build confidence, and imagine bigger possibilities for their future.

Inside these classrooms, students are developing skills that will continue to shape them far beyond their school years.

Providing a safe and supportive learning environment means giving children the space to grow, explore, and believe in what they are capable of achieving.

As we continue our work in Zambia, moments like these remind us why education and support matter so deeply.

Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.

A simple meal can support the way a child learns.

Having both a place to study and the nourishment to stay focused allows students to fully show up each day.

Education is not just about the classroom. It is also about providing the support that helps students stay present and engaged.

As we continue our work in Zambia, we remain committed to supporting both learning environments and the needs that make learning possible.

With the right support, students are able to learn, grow, and thrive.

A glimpse into the classrooms we are working to protect.

These spaces are where children learn, grow, and begin to see what is possible for their future.

For many of them, school is more than education. It is structure, support, and a safe place to be.

As we focus on rebuilding the St. Abanoub campus, moments like these remind us what truly matters.

Education creates opportunity. Safe spaces make it possible

13 years of purpose. 13 years of impact.

For over a decade, Meant to Live Foundation has been serving communities, supporting youth, and creating opportunities where they are needed most.

From classrooms in Zambia to communities around the world, every effort has been rooted in one belief: that everyone is meant to live a life of purpose.

This moment is not just a celebration of the past, but a reflection of the lives that have been touched and the work that continues.

We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.
