CHANGING THE DESTINY OF ORPHANS AROUND THE WORLD

EACH OF US CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BUT TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE

Our goal is to help foster/orphan care homes take a holistic approach to meet the complex needs of the children.  This takes a strategy and a plan and committed partners that will help these homes until they become sustainable.  Our flagship orphanage, Refugio de Esperanza in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, is an example.

A local church community chose to adopt this home in 2003.  Through ongoing commitment and support, each year, the programs continued to expand.  Volunteers shared their gifts and talents with the children.  Business leaders shared their knowledge to create sustainability programs that are also providing vocational training. 

Creating a multi-year strategy that becomes the pathway to long-term sustainability for the orphanage will equip the children to thrive as independent adults.
