Lahash International is a Christian organization working in East Africa. Lahash works to help vulnerable children in communities affected by war, disease, and corruption. The work is accomplished through partnerships with existing East African churches and ministries that have a vision for serving vulnerable kids in a holistic manner. Lahash currently sponsors 150 children in Uganda, Tanzania, and South Sudan.
Child Sponsorship is the primary method of securing long-term international support for the work in East Africa. An office in Portland, Oregon houses staff and volunteers in the efforts of international advocacy. The organization has also created a month-long experiential event called Rice & Beans Month. This month offers a chance to the international community to pare back meal budgets for a month in order to share savings with people in East Africa that are facing nutritional shortages.
A book was written in 2011 by Lyla Peterson about the journey of the organization and the partnership with Susan Tabia and her ministry in South Sudan and Uganda to the Sudanese.
