Why “Life Vest Inside”?

Life Vest Inside is born out of the idea that in a seemingly chaotic world with its bumps and curve balls, kindness, like a life vest, keeps us afloat; it makes us believe once again in ourselves, instills hope and helps us see the light at the end of the tunnel.

What Makes Us Different?

Our Philosophy

By recognizing the inherent value in oneself, one comes to recognize the inherent value in others. Life Vest Inside takes a proactive approach to prevent social issues such as bullying, substance abuse, depression, crime and so on from materializing. Through research and analysis, we have found that a lack of self-value and confidence is at the core of a vast array of social issues plaguing society.

Life Vest Inside’s essence is based in empowerment. Empowering people to recognize their value, that they matter, that they are unique and significant in their own way. Engaging in kindness is the greatest tool to empower, build self-value and confidence. When a person engages in an act of kindness or an act of giving, they catch a glimpse of their true potential and are validated for the right reasons. By fostering one’s self-confidence through the empowering nature of kindness, we can more efficiently and impactfully make a positive change.

Our Platform

"Education is the key to tolerance."

Kindness is a universal language that transcends race, religion, ethnicity and nationality. It’s the common thread that ties us together and provides an opportunity to focus on something we all believe in. Life Vest Inside has created a powerful kindness network that fosters dialogue with people across the globe, including parts of the world torn apart by conflict. Through our approach, we establish peace in place of conflict, love in place of hatred, hope in place of fear, and kindness in place of mistrust. As a result we have seen a positive change in the way people engage with one another and respect each other.

Life Vest Inside turns mere inspiration into action. We equip people worldwide with the necessary tools to build their self-confidence and recognize the amazing potential they have to make a difference in the world. By utilizing the transformative power of kindness we empower and inspire people to become a catalyst for positive change.

Inspiration can only take us so far and we believe that in order to make a lasting impact, we must view kindness as more than something we do, but rather part of who we are. Our kindness initiatives and resources inspire, engage, educate, and unite individuals with the means to live kindly. We set out to effect global change and ignite the human connection through inspirational media, technology, education, and on the ground social engagement.

Every Person is a Piece

At Life Vest Inside we aim to increase the network of givers in the world, by inspiring each to give back to the world in their own way.

Every person is a piece of the puzzle and without each of our unique contributions the puzzle is simply incomplete.

Thoughts from the Life Vest Inside Family of Volunteers

“Orly is a remarkable individual and I loved her speech and delivery. As I sat listening to Orly and seeing her presence on the stage, she reminded me of Tony Robbins. The raw voice, the passion and the inspirational message was pure magic! Mark my words, Orly is going to be one of the best and well sort-after speakers in the industry.”
