Become a champion for former foster youth in Latvia
Without your support and without one safe friend or mentor, former foster youth face prison, houselesness, prostitution, trafficking and repeating the cycles of generational neglect and abuse they’ve experienced.
Lighthouse Transitional Care exists to stop these cycles and help former-foster youth heal from their wounds, thrive in adulthood and know they are deeply loved by God.
Just $50 covers a month of programming for one of our youth.

Make a difference
The Lighthouse relies on your support to sustain and expand our vital programs, including:
Life-skills classes to empower youth with practical tools for independence.
Grocery assistance to provide essential nutrition and alleviate financial stress.
Medical and mental health support to ensure holistic care for their well-being.
A committed team of volunteer mentors to help equip our youth with the relational skills needed for a connected future.
In addition, we are making moves to hire and sustain a local social worker(s) who can serve as a crucial link to connect our youth to the services and resources they need to thrive. Together, we can continue making a lasting difference in their lives.
Organizational history
2022
This was a huge year of growth for the Lighthouse. We added two staff members and formalized partnerships with several Riga-based organizations.
2023
In 2023 we were able to fully return to a new normal after the Covid-19 pandemic. We reinstated family dinner events in homes and more deeply connected with our youth.
2024
This year we focused on strengthening partnership to grow our programs. We provided practical help through groceries and funding medical and mental healthcare for our youth.
“Jesus persistently loved those the world (and the church!) had written off, and that’s exactly what Lighthouse is about. We find it a joy to participate in work that’s so dear to God’s gentle and lowly heart.”
