We have exciting news! Our founder, Alice Skaff, has been nominated for the 2019 Executive of the Year Award which is part of the Excellence in Nonprofit Performance Yearly Awards presented by the Cape Coral Community Foundation. This nomination is recognition for all the hard work she has done and continues to do for children around the world through Haven of Hope International.
Haven of Hope International (HOHI) was started because Alice saw a desperate need to help change the destiny of orphans world-wide. The harsh reality is 99.5% of orphans may never be adopted. 60%-70% of orphans turn to a life of crime and there’s 10% of these children that attempt suicide.
After personally seeing the need and learning the statistics, Alice knew her destiny was to dedicate her life to show orphaned children they are seen, loved, and make known there are people willing to help these kids fulfill the amazing plans God has for them.
Today, Alice helps more than 7,000 children in 29 countries around the WORLD through Haven of Hope International. The goal is to continue to rescue, love, restore, and equip the abused and abandoned children while raising the bar on global orphan care. This is done by providing sustainable programs that meet the complex needs of these children that have endured unimaginable traumas.
Stay tuned for the Excellence in Nonprofit Performance Yearly Awards ceremony on October 12th .
