Hopes Promise

Orphan care provides christian humanitarian aid for fatherless and orphaned children throughout the world: believing god designed families as the best place for children to grow and thrive, we place orphaned and vulnerable children either with a relative or a non-relative caregiver, allowing them to remain in their own country and in their own community. In kenya, vietnam, nepal, and zimbabwe, our indigenous country coordinators work through local churches in collaboration with community resources to empower and equip caregivers to provide for the children's lifelong physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. In 2024, we cared for 55 orphaned and vulnerable children in non-relative based families, 314 in relative families and supported 32 in post high school studies. We took 27 americans on connection trips to visit kenya and vietnam. Goals for 2025: - 6 international staff from 3 countries will complete training to be certified as affiliate trainers with trauma free world - zimbabwe staff will train 15 teachers from a school where many of our kids attend, 100 church members, and 50 persons from other orgs in trauma informed care - about 35 people will go on connection trips to kenya, vietnam, and zimbabwe
