Lost, and now found.

Once I looked into their eyes, they entered my soul.

I could not turn away.

– Todd Snyder, Founder
Lost Faces of Humanity Foundation

Almost everything that occurs on Earth is somehow connected. Africa alone has over 30 MILLION internally displaced persons, refugees, and asylum-seekers living in the continent, representing almost one-third of the world’s refugee population. Sudan alone saw 10.8 million uprooted by the end of 2023.

Our planet has over 117 MILLION Forcibly displaced people worldwide per UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). With an estimated. 68.3 MILLION are internally displaced people. Among them, nearly 43.4 million are refugees, around half of whom are under the age of eighteen, with one of every 30 people on Earth now a migrant.

We want to do everything we can to turn lost faces into found ones, and to help restore hope in the hearts of refugees as they realize they may never return home.

In this pursuit, our mission is to develop initiatives to alleviate the struggle of refugees through dedicated programs and empowerment.

CHANGE IS HAPPENING

WE ASSIST IN UGANDA & ETHIOPIA

Lost Faces distributes school supplies in in the Rhino and Imvepi refugee camps, near Arua, Uganda, providing children in the camps with backpacks and school supplies that were made in Uganda, by local manufacturers.

Lost Faces of Humanity further created critical partnerships in Uganda along with Ethiopia's Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA), and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to collaborate on long-lasting solutions that include educational assistance, blankets, and clothing.

Lost Faces of Humanity is an NGO focusing on assisting and empowering because we are not the only ones who believe in the promise of Ethiopia and the 800,000 plus refugees settled within its borders, along with the estimated 1.3 million refugees living in Uganda.

We will continue to work hard to make rapid change, and update our progress on this site.
