BOTTLES 4 LIFE
It began with an earthquake — and a bottle.
When the 2010 earthquake devastated Haiti, two men an ocean apart felt the same call. Meeting in Tamale, Ghana in 2012, Fedly Bonneau and Austin Gideon Adobasom-Anane made a covenant: to stand with the needy wherever they are found.
Bottles 4 Life was born in 2013 with a humble engine — collect and recycle plastic bottles, and turn every bottle into help for a life. In Mae Sot, Thailand, blue B4L bins still turn plastic into provision today, and the communities we serve collect bottles too.
A cleaner planet. A better life. 4 every bottle.
Before we dreamed of a city, we served.
A decade of quiet miracles — before COVID, before the coup, and still today.
Bottles become lifelines
B4L is born from the Haiti earthquake and a covenant made in Ghana. Recycled bottles begin funding care for people the world overlooks.
A learning center becomes a home
B4L helps build up the Naung Bo Den Learning Center for students from Myanmar: clean water, electricity, a cafeteria, shower rooms, dorms for students, and housing for teachers.
Inside Burma: water and computers
While the roads were open, B4L worked inside Myanmar — providing clean water for villages and schools, and placing computers in students' hands so learning didn't stop at the textbook. In partnership with the Greater Los Angeles Region, we built a preschool in Myawaddy.
Thousands carried to care
For families who could never afford the journey, B4L personally transported thousands of patients to hospitals — people who otherwise simply would not have gone.
Showers of blessings
The night the Delaware Avenue SDA Church voted to fund shower rooms at Naung Bo Den, no one knew Myanmar's military would launch a coup the next morning. Students woke up worried about their families — and received good news.
The TCDMC mobile clinic
Staffed by a doctor-and-nurse couple who fled Myanmar after the coup, the Crumpton-Delaware Mobile Clinic stops village to village, three days a week — thousands of patient visits in its first two years. Its ultrasound machine lets expectant migrant mothers see their babies, many for the very first time in their lives.
Tommy & Kenny books
In partnership with author Mark Brown, B4L has placed thousands of Tommy & Kenny books in the hands of children — helping them cope with the trauma of running from conflicts around the world.
Wei Ler Moo Refugee City
B4L signs an MOU with the KNU Peace Council: ~100.9 acres in Karen State, near Mae La camp, for a city where refugee families stop surviving and start living.
To the Delaware Avenue Seventh-day Adventist Church of Santa Monica — happy 75th anniversary.

Look what your faithfulness built across the ocean.
- The shower rooms at Naung Bo Den — voted the very night before the coup, so students woke to good news on Myanmar's darkest morning
- The Crumpton-Delaware Mobile Clinic — a clinic bearing your name, driving healing to Burmese patients village to village
- Years of steadfast support for the children and families of Mae Sot
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant. — Matthew 25:21 (KJV)”
Thousands of women and young girls, eight nations, one message: you are not forgotten.
Period poverty keeps girls out of school and women out of work. B4L provides sanitary napkins — thousands upon thousands of them — across three continents.
Three continents, through our own lens.
Unstaged and unfiltered — the mission as we lived it, 2018 to today.
Our apps fund the mission — every single purchase.
We built them ourselves, with a theologian’s care. Buy them, gift them, share them: every download is a brick in the city.

“You worship at home. A city rises abroad.”
Wei Ler Moo Refugee City
Not another camp. A city — where families stop surviving and start living.
~100.9 acres in KNU Peace Council territory, Karen State, near Mae La camp on the Thailand–Myanmar border. Seven buildings fully designed with dimensioned floor plans and 3D architectural models. MOU signed June 2, 2026 — solar-powered, self-sustaining, and built with the Karen people, not merely for them.
You don't build a city with millions.
