At Life Development University (LDU), we are not just constructing a building—we are laying the foundation for transformative education, economic empowerment, and generational change. We are a community-centered university, an extension of the house the people built, evolving into the institution the people built and, soon, the block the people built.
$3.3M Raised—Now, We Need You to Help Reach $10M
We’ve already secured $3.3 million to acquire our building, complete the first-floor buildout, and bring on vital staff to establish our programming. But to fully realize the vision of a multi-story, state-of-the-art educational facility, we need the support of our community, our people, and early adopters like you.
