Recently, while attending the Global Church Network Synergize Conference in Orlando, Alice Sweet, founder of Haven of Hope International (HOHI), shared a heartfelt appeal—one rooted in compassion, urgency, and unwavering faith. Among those listening was Mike Sherbino, host of the television program and podcast Perspective. Deeply moved by both the mission of HOHI and the powerful story of a young girl named Neema, Mike reached out personally to Alice with a special invitation: to share this story with a broader audience.
That invitation has now become a powerful platform.
In the interview on Perspective, Alice shares the heart behind Haven of Hope International—a ministry committed not just to caring for orphaned and vulnerable children, but to transforming the way the world approaches orphan care. Rather than simply meeting physical needs, HOHI trains and equips caregivers, builds sustainable systems, and restores hope to children who have experienced deep trauma. It is a model centered on dignity, healing, and long-term impact.
But at the center of this conversation is Neema.
Neema is a young girl in Tanzania whose life hangs in the balance. After battling serious health complications, she is now in urgent need of a kidney transplant. Her story is both heartbreaking and inspiring—a reflection of the resilience we so often see in children who have endured more than most. Yet, this is not a journey she can walk alone.
During the interview, Alice shares Neema’s story with honesty and urgency, offering viewers a glimpse into both the challenge and the hope. This is more than a medical need—it is a divine opportunity for the global community to come together and make a life-saving difference.
At Haven of Hope International, we believe that every child matters, and every life is worth fighting for. Neema is not just a story—she is a daughter, a dreamer, and a life full of potential waiting to be realized. This moment—this interview— is a call to action.
