We are changing the way the world cares for orphans. Because every child deserves a family.

WHAT WE DO

Millions of orphaned and vulnerable children around the world are growing up without the love of a family. But there is clear and compelling research on the damaging effects of traditional, institutional orphan care.

The Hope Effect is getting kids out of orphanages and into loving families…where they belong.

The words 'Revolutionize Government Care' in bold black letters with a yellow brushstroke underline on a black background.

We are changing the primary care model of governments from institutional-based to family-based. In simplest terms, we start foster care where it doesn’t exist. Kids do best when they are raised in families.

Approximately 80% of children living in orphanages worldwide actually have family members who could care for them. We get children out of orphanages and back into their biological families.

U.S. Christians donate $4.5 billion a year to orphanages around the world. Research is clear - family is better. We promote a better way of orphan care to faith leaders, members, and other good-hearted people.
