DONATIONS ARE 100% SECURE & TAX DEDUCTIBLE

We are a humanitarian organization helping people that were forced to flee their homes.

1. Lost Faces is a tax-exempt 501-c(3)

 

After visiting the several refugee camps in Africa, and Southeast Asia, and witnessing an escalating refugee crisis around the world Todd Snyder and his teenage daughter Skyler, both have been haunted by what they have witnessed. After visiting camps in Ethiopia and Uganda he visited his trusted friend Don Stabler, a client and friend of several years, asking to open a nonprofit to help the tens of thousands of people he witnessed firsthand. Don, with his expertise of 15 years as an IRS agent, helped Todd form Lost Faces of Humanity.

Don surprised Todd 40 days after applying that Lost Faces of Humanity was approved as a 501c(3), sharing with him that in all of his years of working with the Department of Treasury, he had never seen a form get approved so quickly.

The board members at Lost Faces took this as a positive sign that the need is great and we need to act now.

 

In my 30 years of working with the Department of Treasury, I’ve never seen a nonprofit get approved so quickly.

2. Lost Faces of Humanity Foundation is a licensed NGO in Ethiopia

 

After receiving 501c(3) status, Lost Faces forwarded our documentation to UNHCR to assist with our licensing and very quickly received NGO status with both the Ethiopian government and the Administration of Foreign Affairs, as well as NGO status.

3. March 2022 we expand into Uganda

 

Established, in Ethiopia we have expanded into Uganda, with teams that are on the ground including staff and volunteers to handle refugee affairs. Their role is currently to establish trust and relationships within the various refugee camps throughout the country, They are working hand-in-hand with other NGO’s, UNHCR, UNICEF, and World Food Program, to help us understand the needs and prioritization of the camps. With your help, this year we aim to help build relationships with the refugees by providing much-needed blankets and school supplies, while also sitting down with representatives of other organizations to begin planning for key efforts.
