About Us
FLI was developed out of a response to worldwide starvation, illiteracy, and child labor. FLI is motivated by the desire to help struggling villagers in developing countries, and it does not favor certain nationalities, religions, or races. All illiterate villagers are eligible to receive education and training. FLI’s domestic work is accomplished largely through volunteer efforts, and FLI seeks to maximize donated funds to assist struggling villagers.
