About Us
Lisan Fthi is a non-profit organization registered in West Virginia, operated by Eritrean Catholic individuals from around the world. The primary mission of Lisan Fthi is to foster and defend the inherent, intrinsic, and sacred value of life, as well as the dignity of human beings in all areas of social, political, and economic life. Currently, board members represent Canada, Europe, and the United States. Lisan Fthi believes that genuine societal prosperity can only occur by respecting the whole person as God’s creature, with each individual living in communion with others.
Thus, sustainable growth and peaceful coexistence are unattainable without nurturing the essential nature of humanity and community. Members of this organization have witnessed a war-torn environment, oppressive regimes, and extreme dehumanization in their home country. In light of this, they are passionately dedicated to building a healthy community rooted in the true nature of humanity, collaborating with others who share similar values. A thriving community starts with a healthy family, which is the foundation and window into the larger society. To achieve this, Lisan Fthi actively empowers families and integrates religious and cultural values. Conversely, it combats all forms of propaganda, the erosion of communities’ cultural heritage, and the rise of mass mentality that threaten the fundamental structures of social existence and organic development. The organization seeks to generate awareness through educational activities as a think tank.
Our Mission

Our Vision
