Children's HopeChest
About Children's HopeChest
Children's HopeChest (HopeChest) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization that helps highly vulnerable children overcome abandonment, poverty, and violence. We partner with churches, businesses, schools, and Christian communities. These sponsoring communities are providing help, training, and discipleship to vulnerable children, their families and their communities in highly impoverished areas. HopeChest has active partnerships in Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Russia, Uganda, and the United States.Funding for these partnerships comes, in part, from a monthly child sponsorship program. This funding provides for direct survival needs such as food, water, clothing, and basic medical care. It also helps fund educational and vocational support, voluntary Christian discipleship, income generating activities for the child’s household, establishment of Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA’s), child rights advocacy, grief and trauma assistance, as well as emotional guidance.
