Lighthouse Covenant International (LCI) is a faith-based, Christ-centered, humanitarian organization that excels in the belief that we can advance human dignity, build civil societies, and transform our world to be a better place. We believe this can occur by empowering individuals and communities at the grassroots level to work together, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. Equally importantly, our world becomes a better place when we leverage our similarities and differences such diversity brings.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop civil societies, and promote self-sufficiency in local communities and guide humanitarian relief efforts. We aim to bridge the gap between emergency help and long-term development by delivering material assistance and managing projects that help communities help themselves long after the supplemental aid disappears. We are dedicated to serving the most vulnerable members of society, those often in greatest need, such as the poor, children, orphans, elderly, disabled, war refugees and victims of disasters. The call to action requires that we subpoena the consciousness of our leaders to reinstall the moral rudder of days gone by and to bring forth greater prosperity for all mankind.

Core Values

Lighthouse Covenant International has the following set of core values:

• We believe in the intrinsic value and dignity of human life

• We are awed by human resilience and believe in the ability of a all people to thrive, not just exist

• Our spiritual and humanitarian values compel us to act

Partnerships

One of Lighthouse Covenant International strategic objectives is to invest in knowledge and partnerships. Our goal in working with partners is to broaden our reach, reduce evaluation overload for countries, and increase opportunities for dissemination of lessons learned.
Partnerships allow LCI to expand its frontiers in term of experience, resources and outreach. In contrast to pure trust funds, partnerships involve a collaborative relationship towards mutual objectives, seeking synergies through joint endeavors.

The changing landscape of development assistance emphasizes sector-wide approaches and national development programs require collaborative, multi-donor assistance efforts with common objectives. Effective evaluations in this context require greater donor collaboration and increased host country participation in learning to improve development effectiveness. Partnerships also provides LCI with additional technical expertise, methodological know how, and in-country knowledge.
