A family of orphans will never be orphaned again.
Children who have been orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic have had everything taken away from them. It is our mission to give them the one thing that can never be taken away: a deep personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He will never leave them nor forsake them.
Here is what is unique about how Every Orphan’s Hope carries out this mission:
Outreach
01
Through our orphan outreach ministry, Camp Hope, we send missionaries into communities throughout Zambia to lead Bible camps and to share the love of Christ with thousands of orphans each year. During each camp, we work with local churches to bring the entire community together, building bonds between orphans and their neighbors and pastors, and identifying the neediest of orphans to become candidates for sponsorship in one of the homes we’re building throughout Zambia.
A Home
02
A home, not an orphanage. Children have lost enough without losing their community and potentially their cultural roots. That’s why instead of taking orphans out of their community we build them houses in their community. House by house, we create new and enduring Christian families where God is the head of the household and a “Mama” – a woman who has committed herself to the service of Jesus Christ – guides and cares for eight orphans, year after year. The houses themselves become self-sustaining over time, with microenterprises like chicken runs providing for their home maintenance needs and growing family.
Local Churches
03
Working through local churches in AIDS affected communities. The Church of Zambia has the heart and hands to do Christ’s work. We partner with local pastors and church leaders in providing administrative support and Gospel-sharing programs like Camp Hope to help these churches bring their communities together and minister to them as Jesus Christ intends.
100% Sponsorship
04
100% of sponsorship funds go directly to orphan care. Some orphan relief efforts aim at community development rather than actually raising children. While the children benefit from the schools and infrastructure that is created, the monthly support may not go directly to support a particular child. With Every Orphan’s Hope, it does. Each child is directly supported by a community of 12 sponsors who, working together with one another and the Every Orphan’s Hope staff, provide the monthly funding needed to provide their child with healthcare, food, clothing, education, a legal guardian, and more. Each sponsor not only builds a deeply personal relationship with one child, but also with the other 11 sponsors, providing for material needs and giving the orphan roots in a stable, loving, extended family.
