What It Is

Live is Life Foundation is a European nonprofit foundation based in Venray, the Netherlands. Its goal is to raise survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) to 50% by improving public awareness, promoting public AED deployment, and training more people in CPR and AED use. From an education/course perspective, it is closer to a “first-aid public education + AED crowdfunding deployment platform” than a traditional course-selling website.

Core Offering

The platform focuses on three things: first, educating the public on how to recognize sudden cardiac arrest, the critical rescue window, and the basics of CPR and AEDs; second, helping schools, communities, cycling clubs, and similar venues install publicly accessible AEDs through project-based crowdfunding; and third, delivering lifesaving skills training through fulfillment partners in different countries. Its projects include HeartSaver School and HeartSafe Cycling, with an emphasis on accessibility in public settings such as schools and sports communities. The website also provides an FAQ explaining basic steps such as how to identify cardiac arrest, how to use an AED, and how to perform CPR.

Pricing and Delivery

The website states that the fundraising platform is free to use, and donors do not pay additional transaction fees. AED package pricing is not uniformly disclosed in the crawled body text; instead, it depends on the target amount shown on each project page. Once a fundraising target is met, Live is Life deducts €75 for foundation activities, and transfers the remainder to the relevant country fulfillment partner to complete AED package delivery, installation, and related services. If the target is not reached, a partial delivery plan or refund will be discussed.

Pros and Cons

The strengths are a clear public-interest mission, coverage across multiple European countries including Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, and relatively strong on-the-ground execution through local partners. It also combines equipment deployment, awareness education, and skills training, making it suitable for community mobilization. The drawback is that course information is not very transparent: it does not clearly specify course duration, training syllabus, instructor qualifications, whether certificates are issued, online/offline arrangements, or course languages in each country. Users looking to purchase a standardized certified first-aid course will need to inquire further.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for European schools, communities, sports clubs, nonprofit organizations, AED fundraising initiators, and members of the general public who want to learn basic CPR/AED skills. Chinese users can refer to its public FAQ if they simply want to learn first-aid basics, but its project delivery is clearly aimed at Europe, so there is limited value in local participation from China. The source text does not provide information on access from mainland China, so this remains unknown.
