We are changing the way the world cares for orphans…because every child deserves a family.
what we do
Millions of orphaned and vulnerable children around the world are growing up without the love of a family. But there is clear and compelling research on the damaging effects of traditional, institutional orphan care.
Children should not grow up in orphanages…kids do best when they are raised in families. The Hope Effect is changing orphan care by providing innovative family-style care, which allows every child to flourish and thrive.
