Visit lahum.orgAbout Lahum
Lahum is an Abu Dhabi social enterprise that resells pre-loved clothing and directs its profits toward children's education. By giving garments a second life, it promotes sustainability and a circular economy while raising funds for scholarships. The proceeds support tuition grants for students at partner schools across the UAE who need help with their fees. As a non-profit social enterprise rather than a registered charity, it relies on resale income rather than monetary donations.
Mission
To advance sustainability and a circular economy while using resale profits to fund education scholarships for children in the UAE.
