Our Story
Let Me Live emerged from a desire to answer the call to live a life filled with purpose despite the challenges that may come our way. This quest has taken us to various parts of the world, searching for the solution to this desire, all while being of service.
We started conversations with various groups of people in the Cayman Islands and Uganda, to understand the cry of their hearts. This process opened our eyes to their need for a space to discover their dreams, improve their talents, and use their passions to address the many challenges that the young and old faced in their communities. Even though each journey is unique, these individuals hunger for a genuine community that allows them to connect and bring out the best in each other. Together, making a declaration that they will live and make a difference.
In 2018, Let Me Live was officially established and is headquartered in the Cayman Islands. It has, however, been operating since 2013 with a global team. Our projects vary from food relief and sponsorship programmes to book clubs and discussion forums. Our projects have touched Cayman, Jamaica, the United States, Uganda and India.
We strive to build productive international and local relationships and make a positive impact in the life of the next generation.
