Who We Are

Light House Charity Organization (LHCO) is a non-profit organization based in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. We are dedicated to addressing the complex social and humanitarian challenges faced by vulnerable populations, including:

Survivors of obstetric fistula
Survivors of gender-based violence (GBV)
People with disabilities
Vulnerable Children, elders, and youth
Our Mission

Our mission is to rehabilitate, empower, and reintegrate fistula survivors and GBV-affected women and their children. We aim to help them heal physically, emotionally, and economically by providing:

  • Basic literacy and life skills training
  • Economic opportunities
  • Strong psychosocial support
Our Vision

We envision a future where survivors live with dignity, self-reliance, and equal opportunity. A future where they are free from stigma and capable of leading meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Why We Exist

Sexual violence and obstetric fistula inflict profound physical and emotional wounds, often leading to severe social isolation. LHCO exists to break this cycle. We help women rebuild their lives, reintegrate into society, and ultimately thrive.
