ARAHA's mission is to alleviate suffering in the Horn of Africa and help the East African community in Minnesota through programs related to hunger, illiteracy, disease, and poverty. Members can get involved through committees that meet monthly, develop strategic plans, and work on projects in areas such as advocacy, creative fundraising, orphan programs, schools and education, and medical supplies. New members are welcome to join various departments and take on leadership roles to help further ARAHA's goals.
