Project Polaris

Building a Permanent Home for Our Community

🏠 Long-Term Investment Initiative

Project Polaris is LAFABAH's strategic initiative to acquire a permanent community hall.

For nearly four decades, LAFABAH has operated without a dedicated facility. Project Polaris addresses this need by establishing a stable, owned home for our community.

The Future LAFABAH Hall Will Host:

  • Monthly General Assembly meetings
  • NextGen programs and youth activities
  • High school graduation celebrations
  • Quarterly networking events
  • Cultural education programs
  • Partner-hosted initiatives

Why Project Polaris?

A permanent home ensures long-term sustainability, intergenerational continuity, and a central hub for governance, cultural preservation, and community gatherings for decades to come.
