About Us
Across East Africa, voiceless and vulnerable people are struggling to find hope. Lahash is the Hebrew word for whispered prayer – a reminder that God is answering the prayers of many lonely and forgotten children through the compassionate care of our global community.
MISSION
Lahash partners with African churches to holistically care for vulnerable children.
VISION
Our vision is that all children in Africa know Jesus and thrive as they are loved by a flourishing global church.
CORE VALUES
MUTUALITY
We develop healthy, reciprocal relationships and partnerships where each person has the opportunity to humbly contribute to the other.
WHOLENESS
We love and care for the whole person, body, mind, and spirit so that those we serve can heal and grow in every aspect of life.
DISCIPLESHIP
We passionately follow, and invite others to follow, the Triune God who transforms us all as we experience divine love.
STORYTELLING
Through intentional and creative advocacy on behalf of the vulnerable, we uncover hidden treasures and inspire others to find their place in the story.
CORE PROGRAMS
CHILD SPONSORSHIP
Child sponsorship changes the life of a child, and of the sponsor as well. A monthly gift of $37 helps to provide holistic care for one child including nutritional support, education fees, medical care, and spiritual discipleship.
RICE & BEANS MONTH
During March/Lent, we simplify our daily food choices and eat in solidarity with our East African brothers and sisters. The money we save is then shared with our ministry partners to improve nutrition and food security for vulnerable kids.
STAND WITH STUDENTS
Education is easily disrupted by rising school fees, fluctuating food costs, or health issues. Stand With Students exists to help kids overcome these obstacles, with the goal of seeing many of them continue all the way through the Higher Education Program.
SERVANT TEAMS
Servant Teams participants travel from the U.S. to serve our East African partners after intensive discipleship, training, and hands-on engagement in vulnerable communities. This gap year program develops diverse leaders to serve in local and global missions.
