INTRODUCTION:

“Kindness does go viral. May we never miss an opportunity to be a super-spreader”. – Sen. Cory Booker 

The global landscape has changed dramatically in the decade since the founding of SIFH Global. Today we are facing increasingly frequent life-threatening weather events resulting from climate change, escalating war zones resulting from an unstable geopolitical world and abject dehumanization of *otherness*, and a global pandemic that has taken 6.25 million lives at the time of this writing. The agility of our team, and our mission, has positioned SIFH Global to remain responsive to dynamic and quickly changing demands for humanitarian interventions. Our vision is founded in our shared understanding that *once you see, you cannot un-see; once you know, you cannot un-know*. We are unequivocally united in the acknowledgement that once you know, you are obligated to act.  Our mission reflects our collective experience and dedication to service to our brothers and sisters in need, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, culture, geography or scale of the challenge. Both our vision and mission demand that we cast a very wide and timely net to provide assistance, big or small, wherever and whenever we are called to serve. We understand that many of the situations where we insert ourselves are extremely time-sensitive, so we often find ourselves racing against the clock to assist individuals and communities that have been dramatically impacted by systemic inequities, natural and man-made disasters.

In the words of OUR Senator Cory Booker –

“Life is so precious. And in the great span of time it is so fleeting.  May we love, love, love one another”.

 

Our Mission:

We Lift.

We Lift individuals and communities around the globe.

We Lift one another and, in turn, lift corners of our world in times of urgent need.

We Lift iron. It is in our individual and collective DNA to just lift heavy things.

We Lift. Our lifelong commitment to weight-training and the “heaviest” opportunities for service are inexorably linked; this unexpected pairing defines who we are.

VISION:

We envision a world where each and every person has an equitable opportunity to thrive and prosper.


At the time of SIFH Global's founding, we recognized that quality of life and capacity to thrive is wholly dependent on well-being. Our core mission focused on fitness and wellness services to individuals and communities disadvantaged by economic, geographic, systemic and other barriers to achieving optimal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.

A decade later we acknowledge that stabilization of environment precedes health and wellness in the context of a global landscape increasingly in crisis.  As such, and in service to our original mission, SIFH Global has expanded its interests to provide humanitarian aid to communities in regions ravaged by the impact of natural and man-made disasters. We are committed to lifting our brothers and sisters in every corner of the globe, thereby contributing towards our collective healing and wellness.


“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”
— - Albert Schweitzer
