THE HOUSE OF HOPE: A REFUGE FOR ORPHANS AND REFUGEES

The House of Hope is a transitional home for orphan graduates venturing into independent life and becoming valuable community members. It offers these young adults a safe and supportive environment. One where they can learn life skills, receive vocational training and pursue their education. It also provides Godly guidance and mentoring, helping them discover their identity and purpose in God.

Adam Howard, the Director of Media and Communications for Orphan’s Promise, shares, “We have been able to impact hundreds of lives because of the consistent financial and emotional support of Orphan’s Promise partners and friends.”

Many of the refugees it serves are single mothers with young children who have lost everything and have nowhere else to go.

Valentina, a Ukrainian refugee shares, “I was pregnant, and my child had a heart defect. The surgery needed could only be done in Kyiv. So, we went to Kyiv and had the surgery. Just as we were discharged, the war began. We were looking for options for places to stay, but it was difficult. We didn’t have any money. Then, volunteers told us to come here.”

“They gave us a room and fed us. I was warmly welcomed and given clothing and food. They provided all the necessities. They helped us get the birth certificate and submit all the paperwork, and to register for medical help. They helped us a lot. We are safe here,” says Valentina.

The House of Hope is a shining example of how God can use ordinary people to make a difference in extraordinary circumstances.
