Empowering Orphan Care Worldwide: A Global Training Update
At Haven of Hope International, we believe that equipping caregivers is one of the most powerful ways to transform the future for orphaned and vulnerable children. This quarter, we're excited to share a significant milestone from our Orphan Care Training Institute (OCTI)—a global effort to raise the standard of orphan care.
New Course Launch: Five Steps to Behavioral Change
In partnership with Dr. John Sweet, we've launched a timely and impactful new course: Five Steps to Behavioral Change. This course addresses one of the greatest needs in orphan care—understanding and guiding children through trauma-informed strategies that lead to lasting transformation.
Global Reach: 37 Homes in 19 Countries
Through weekly Zoom sessions, over 100 caregivers and directors are now receiving this training. And this quarter, we’ve expanded access to include homes that hope to formally partner with us in the future.
The impact is already incredible:
In May 2025 alone, Dr. John Sweet provided weekly zoom training to 100+ caregivers/directors from 37 homes/organizations impacting 3,000 children and 19 countries spanning across Latin America and Africa.
Looking Ahead: Praying & Preparing for 2026
We’re stepping out in faith, praying and preparing to formally partner with many of these homes in 2026. But to do that, we’ll need the resources—and the partners—to make it possible.
We invite you to join us in prayer, support, and vision as we expand this movement. Together, we can ensure that every child receives the trauma-informed, family-style care they deserve.
