ABOUT US

Empowering Individuals
& Communities

Lamps of Light Project, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to empowering individuals, families, and communities in addressing the complexities of chemical and behavioral addictions through education, treatment, and diverse resources. While our services cater to the general population, we possess a distinct specialization in serving the SAMENA (Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, North & Sub-Saharan African) and Muslim communities, recognizing the urgent demand for support in this context. At the core of our approach lies the belief in centering individuals who have courageously faced the shadows of trauma, neglect, and addiction—and emerged victorious in their journey of recovery. They become the guiding ‘lamps of light,’ offering invaluable guidance and support to others seeking solace and transformation.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and customized care to individuals who struggle with different types of addictions, while at the same time educating their families and communities the most healthy ways of addressing the underlying causes associated with dependencies. Additionally, we aim to introduce methods of addressing community stigma in order to allow pathways toward recovery a celebrated affair.

Our Vision

To empower individuals, families and communities to confront the challenges of chemical and behavioral addictions with a particular focus on establishing healthier, thriving minority communities that have a culture of providing safe spaces to address holistic wellness without any associated stigmas.

Our Values

Our values empower lives and transform communities with compassion, empathy, respect, and understanding. Integrity and transparency build trust and lasting relationships.
