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.
Children should not grow up in orphanages…kids do best when they are raised in families. The Hope Effect is changing orphan care by providing innovative family-style care, which allows every child to flourish and thrive.
We are changing the way the world cares for orphans…because every child deserves a family.

DOLLAR A DAY TEAM
Small sacrifice. Huge impact.
Just one dollar a day helps get a child out of an orphanage and into loving family care.
Meet a few of Our children
tomás
Tomás grew up in institutional care. At age 10, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, but he did not get proper care in the orphanage. After a life-threatening incident, Tomás was placed in family-style care. Along with love and stability, he was given the knowledge and tools to manage his diabetes. Tomás’ life has been changed through the love of a family.
Antonio
Antonio was abandoned immediately after he was born in Hermosillo, Mexico. The government contacted our team, and Antonio was placed into the loving arms of a family. He became the first child in the state of Sonora to enter family-style care! Today, Antonio is growing, thriving, and receiving the love every child deserves!
angelica
Angelica was removed from her home because she was not receiving proper care. She was suffering from multiple medical conditions when authorities contacted our team in Chihuahua, Mexico. Angelica was placed with a loving family and is now receiving the health care she needs. We are thrilled to see her growing, developing, and reaching new milestones!
Federico
Federico was placed in an orphanage when he was four years old. Due to his difficult childhood, he had frequent tantrums and violent outbursts. Thankfully, our team helped Federico get into family-style care. Thanks to the love of a family, Federico has begun to heal and overcome his anger and loneliness!
Marisol
At three years old, Marisol had been in an orphanage for her entire life. She had never known the love of a family. Instead, she was cared for by a revolving staff of employees. That’s not the life we wanted for Marisol…or any child. Thankfully, Marisol was recently placed in family-style care, and is loving life with her new family!
maría
At 10 years old, María grew up not knowing the love of a family. She spent most of her life in an orphanage and went through two failed adoption attempts. But thankfully, María was placed in family-style care with a loving family…who later adopted her! We can’t wait to see her thrive in her forever family.
