“We are dying to make a difference,
and yet many of us are making a dying instead of a living."

Our team will work with you to carefully craft giving levels and perks that are most meaningful for your business or event (which can include a gift from JLMC’s International Boutique of one-of-a-kind goods handmade by women in Uganda). A small team of JLMC staff will attend to ensure that everything runs smoothly so that you have nothing more to do than say, Yes, I want to change the world while I work!
Fundraising for Just Like My Child Foundation is a turn-key way for you to make an impact in the world by empowering vulnerable adolescent girls with the tools they need to stay in school, protect themselves from the pitfalls of poverty, and reach their full potential.
Through the experience of a mother’s love for her child, Vivian woke up to realize the value of every human life. After learning about the horrific numbers of children dying from malaria and orphaned by the AIDS epidemic in Africa, Vivian was moved to make a difference.
Vivian is a recognized thought leader in global issues facing the health, education, and economic leadership of vulnerable adolescent girls and women in East Africa. Just Like My Child Foundation has documented success in increasing acceptance of human rights in developing communities and shifting harmful cultural practices that impede girls from continuing their education. The organization is focused on the Girl Power Project® and committed to empowering vulnerable adolescent girls to stay in school, avoid forced child marriage, pregnancy, and gender-based violence. Through a Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Action and in support of Michelle Obama’s Let Girls Learn initiative, JLMC has directly and indirectly reached 20,000 girls in central Uganda.
An author and successful former marketing director for Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, and others, Vivian, a native New Yorker, currently lives in San Diego with her husband and son.
JLMC’s Girl Power Project® was created to empower adolescent girls and designed to reduce barriers that prevent them from completing secondary school. The Girl Power Project addresses the complex needs of vulnerable adolescent girls’ aged 12-15, by empowering them with a network of support in their community to help them live healthy lives and equip them with the tools to protect themselves against forced child marriage, HIV transmission, early pregnancy, rape and disease.
As of 2019, the Girl Power Project® has directly reached over 6,000 girls at 96 primary schools in central Uganda. Scientific results show that Girl Power Project® participants are gaining more knowledge, life skills, and assets that strengthen their ability to successfully navigate adolescence.

After 25 years of winning Top Sales Awards and training senior executives at companies like Pfizer and Hewlett-Packard, she left corporate America and put her skills to the test as an entrepreneur. In just a few short years, Lisa created a multi-million dollar home-based business with two toddlers in tow. Her Event Profit Secrets event equips entrepreneurs to deliver coaching, mastermind, and mentoring programs through a live event. To date, Lisa has raised over $500,000 for Just Like My Child Foundation through her live events and has traveled to Uganda with her son to witness the impact of JLMC’s programs first-hand.
“The results were shocking to me. You would think that if we pulled $120,000 out of the room in donations, that there might be less money in the room to buy our stuff. But the opposite was true. We had a higher enrollment and had more people join our courses than anything we had done prior. It was counterintuitive to everything I thought.”

Celebrity nutrition and fitness expert JJ Virgin teaches clients how to lose weight and master their mindset so they can lead bigger, better lives. She is a New York Times bestselling author and host of the Mindshare Summit, an annual live event where top experts and entrepreneurs in the health and wellness community meet to collaborate, innovate, and elevate their mission.
“You would think that if you’re doing an event and someone’s donating to a foundation, that they would have less money to spend on what you’re offering, but in fact, it triggers a completely different thing. I found that it enhances our sales. By as much as 35% – 50%, so it’s pretty significant.”
