American Relief Agency for the Horn of Africa (ARAHA) is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by East African community leaders to provide humanitarian relief and long-term development across the Horn of Africa.

The organization maintains active field operations in countries across the Horn and also serves East African communities in Minnesota; it lists Tax ID #41-1989714 on its official materials, matching IRS/Form 990 records and nonprofit databases.
