Our History
Growing up in East Africa opened Dan’s heart to its people and cultures, and his grassroots advocacy through Lahash has opened the hearts of countless others. Dan Holcomb founded Lahash International in 2005 after meeting Mama Susan Tabia and the kids at Amazing Grace Children’s Home in northern Uganda. Lahash’s focus has remained on establishing long-term partnerships in East Africa that are grounded in strong relationships. Lahash now has grassroots partners in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Kenya.
Our Mission
Lahash partners with African churches to holistically care for vulnerable children. Our vision is that all children in Africa know Jesus and thrive as they are loved by a flourishing global church.
