At Lalmba, we are led by a vision of HOPE that is so tangible, you can grab onto it! Each day we touch hundreds of lives, especially children, and every year over 50,000 times a patient is treated at our remote African clinics. Our team of over 100 national staff, 23 international and 32 Ethiopian and Kenyan volunteers, hundreds of children guardians, and many supporters, donors, and partners in our mission are all spreading hope that looks like something so real – you can touch it, walk inside it, and grab onto it.

Over 1280 children who were born in a remote village in Ethiopia or Kenya are growing up loved within our places of hope – children’s homes or with a family guardian in the community.  Everyone in the villages can learn and build up their skills in our classrooms or at our empowerment center. We spread hope to those around us who we see not as a problem to fix, but a person to build up as we share our love, medical cures, and knowledge. That’s because we see the seed of a brighter future in everyone who believes in Lalmba’s motto: We are a place and a people of HOPE!

I am so honored to share with you how I not only serve folks who are materially poor, but I mentor and encourage others to do the same. It doesn’t take much – only the courage of an ordinary person to do something extraordinary.

With each extraordinary act of love and kindness, we spread hope –  HOPE that grows into something so tangible it builds a brighter future.

Sending big hugs and gratitude,

Jennifer Wenningkamp
