EMPOWERING CHILDREN AND COMMUNITIES

Supporting Orphanages and Families

Every child deserves to feel safe and loved. To have a clean living space and nutritious food. To be clothed and to have and access to medical care. To have access to an education that will inspire them to learn, dream and achieve. And to know and feel the love of Jesus.

We work to ensure that every child at the orphanages and day programs we support receives not only the basic necessities they need, but the holistic care they deserve so they can flourish.

 

A child who is healthy can focus and thrive

NUTRITION & BASIC NECESSITIES PROGRAM

All children should have access to the basic necessities they need: shelter, food, clean water and clothing. They deserve to live in a safe, clean, supportive environment where they do not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, becoming ill due to improper hygiene or sanitation, or falling prey to criminals on the streets. We truly believe that when these children’s basic needs are provided for, they can focus on learning, dreaming, and thriving.

We collect monetary donations for food, hygiene items, clothing and basic necessities and funnel them to five orphanages in Honduras, one orphanage and one daycare center in India, and one orphanage in Nepal. Our part-time employee in Honduras then purchases the food at local grocery stores, sends us the receipts and sends us photos of the food being purchased and the distribution to each orphanage, including photos of the children enjoying the food. The Pastors and their wives who run the orphanages and day programs in India and Nepal do the same.

A child who is educated can succeed

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

When a child is given the chance to learn and grow, and supported so that they can discover their unique talents and potential, they are empowered to break out of the cycle of poverty by being put on the path to eventual self-sufficiency. Children at the orphanages we support are taught the Gospel, so that they can come to know God’s love and find their own purpose through prayer. Schooling allows the children to dream, believe, and achieve.

We collect monetary donations for school supplies including books, writing utensils, folders, art supplies, school uniforms, Bibles and other educational materials. We also funnel some of these donations to scholarships for the children to attend local schools that specialize in educating orphaned and street children using trauma-informed practices. In addition, we support the cost of tutors in the orphanages as needed.

Empowering children to believe in themselves

HOPE CAMPS PROGRAM

We believe in a world where children without families still grow up in supportive and familial environments where their basic needs are secure and they learn to dream and achieve.

Our Hope Camps and workshops focus on developing the psychological, emotional and spiritual needs of orphaned and impoverished children to build their self esteem and confidence and help them discover their skills, talents and dreams for their futures. Our hope camps and workshops are strategically designed to dig into the innate talent of every child. We created this initiative to know how to guide every child individually by understanding their gifts and develop them. This enables us to see their God-given design and share this knowledge with the home they come from. It is an amazing way to show them that they are unique and that they are capable and able to create and live life with fullness.

Empowering those who are raising the children

STAFF MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

We support orphanage and community organization staff members that are raising the children so they can “pour from an overflowing cup” and be the “village” it takes to raise a child. Our goal is to provide motivation and encouragement to all staff members so that they continue to grow and develop their potential in their unique roles. We provide mentorship to staff and encourage attendance to leadership webinars, programs, and events.

We are externally mobilizing our mission by empowering local leaders in Honduras, India, and Nepal. We understand local leadership is the key to culturally competent and effective support to children growing up in orphanages and impoverished communities. Additionally, we encourage connecting with other organizations to coordinate the learning and leadership development of our teams.

Rebuilding communities together

EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAM

The pandemic devastated the orphanages and communities we support, and still continues to affect the children’s and caretakers’ daily lives. Caretakers and their family members became sick, and some passed away from the virus. Peoples’ livelihoods were affected, making the poor even poorer. The majority of local supporters of the orphanages can no longer afford to donate. The countries went on lockdown, isolating everyone.

On top of that, in Honduras in November of 2020, two hurricanes ravaged the communities we support. Hurricane Eta brought catastrophic amounts of rainfall, which caused landslides and severe flooding. Hurricane Iota followed 12 days later, exacerbating the situation. Hundreds of buildings were damaged, houses were decimated, bridges were destroyed, and communities were cut off by washed-out roads. Nearly 400,000 people were affected by these storms in Honduras.

We were able to mobilize our supporters to rise to the occasion and provide contributions to help the communities we support. We purchased and coordinated delivery of critical items such as mattresses, stoves, refrigerators and other necessities to enable families to rebuild their lives.

ORPHANAGE SUPPORT

We bring hope to children and staff in orphanages through relationships that allow us to partner with them to meet their basic needs. No child should barely survive. We are here to see them thrive!

ABANDONMENT PREVENTION

We recognize that best case scenario is to keep children with their family of origin, which is why we partner with day programs that allow children to stay with their families. The majority of these families live in extreme poverty. The day programs ensure that the children receive warm meals, clothing, and an education where they learn about hope and love through the Gospel.
