We are thrilled to share an incredible answer to prayer here at Refugio de Vida in Pucallpa, Peru. As our young people grow, the need for transition support has been rising, and God has faithfully provided a way for us to equip our teenagers for the future. We are excited to announce the official launch of the Future of Hope (FOH) Transition Program in Peru!
A Vision Shared Across Borders
This journey began with the heart of our global family. We were honored to welcome Lic. Cyntia Aldana, one of Bolivia's TBRI-certified leaders, who traveled from Bolivia to Pucallpa in April 2026 to bring this vision to life. Cyntia is a powerful partner in our global mission, and her expertise has been instrumental in ensuring our youth receive the care and training they need as they step into adulthood.
From Machu Picchu to Pucallpa
This program's foundation was laid by the dedication of Beth Webley, an HOHI Advisory Board Member, GPS Facilitator, and Nation of Orphans Ambassador. During her 2025 "Klimbing for Kids" campaign—which saw her trekking Machu Picchu—Beth visited our home in Pucallpa. (insert link) During that visit, she fell in love with the determination and dedication of our team and our children. Recognizing the vital need for support for our teenagers aging out of care, Beth chose to sponsor the launch of this program. It was a true answer to our prayers.
Equipping for the Future
Our Future of Hope Transition Program is focused on helping our young people "launch" into adulthood with strength, dignity, and purpose. The curriculum has been adapted to be dynamic, didactic, and accessible, ensuring every participant can engage deeply.
Through the GPS (God's Plan for Success) program, our young people are taking inventory of how God uniquely created them and are writing personal mission statements for their lives. This is the first step in getting back to the plan God originally intended for their lives.
The program also focuses on:
- Discovering Potential: Identifying personal gifts, passions, and strengths.
- Spiritual Growth: Developing spiritual journals and daily habits, such as prayer and Bible reading.
- Practical Transformation: Through our "Youth Who Transform" project, students are learning that "Small Actions lead to Big Changes."
We are seeing 100% participation from our adolescent group, and the enthusiasm they bring to every session is inspiring. As they engage in this process of personal and spiritual growth, they are not just preparing for the future—they are actively building it.
Join Us in Building the Future
The Future of Hope Transition Program is a vital resource for our teenagers, and we invite you to be a part of their success. Your support helps us sustain these life-changing sessions, provide necessary materials, and continue the personalized guidance these young women deserve. By partnering with us, you are investing in the next generation of leaders and helping them walk confidently into the plans God has for them.
Please consider donating to the Future of Hope Transition Program today to help us continue this critical work. Together, we can ensure every young person at Refugio de Vida has the tools they need to thrive.
We are so grateful to Beth, Cyntia, and the entire Haven of Hope International family for believing in these young women. Their futures are truly worth the climb!
