A Foundation Built to Empower God’s Children
Through faith, education and opportunity we aim to impact young lives — one hand at a time.
Who We Are
-
Throughout Scripture, the hand represents strength, guidance, and protection.
Our mission is to strengthen little hands today so they may grow into capable, resilient hands tomorrow — hands that will lead, serve, and uplift the next generation.
-
Just as a hand cannot function at its fullest without each finger working together, our mission is built upon five essential values that guide everything we do.These are the LHSS Five Fingers that shape our foundation:
FAITH
We are guided by faith in God and rooted in biblical principles of love, service, and compassion. Every child is created with purpose and divine potential.
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7FAMILY
We strengthen families and communities, knowing that empowered homes create safe and stable environments where children can grow and thrive.
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” – Joshua 24:15FUTURE
We invest in long-term opportunity through education, mentorship, and sustainable development that prepares children to lead tomorrow.
“For I know the plans I have for you…” – Jeremiah 29:11FOUNDATION
We build strong spiritual, educational, and structural foundations that create lasting impact — not temporary relief.
“The wise man built his house upon the rock.” – Matthew 7:24FORTITUDE
We cultivate resilience, courage, and perseverance in children and communities, empowering them to overcome hardship and build enduring strength.
“Be strong and courageous.” – Joshua 1:9 -
We look to fulfill our mission through strategic projects that directly serve children in vulnerable communities across South Sudan.
Through education, mentorship, and community-centered development, we aim to equip youth with the tools to build lasting change.
A Little hand must work to grow strong.
not simply about giving — it is about teaching, strengthening, and empowering children to support themselves and uplift one another and communities through their own hands.
