Why I Believe in Lifted: A Message from Barrinha Kite School, Ceará
If you believe in kiteboarding not just as a sport, but as a tool for change — please, support Lifted.
We have so much talent here in Ceará. And I’m only talking about this one state, this one corner of Brazil. Imagine what we could do if we all worked together, if we all supported a system designed to uplift and empower on a global scale.

Founder’s Story – Laura Christie
We’re building something that’s not only purpose-driven, but systemised. A model that doesn’t rely on one-time acts of generosity, but channels collective effort into long-term change — with measurable impact, professional standards, and a framework that others can plug into. The goal isn’t just to help individuals, but to create an ecosystem where talent is noticed, nurtured, and reinvested — again and again.
Lifted is my attempt to do that.
