Our impact

We empower local churches to serve children

Local churches understand what vulnerable children need to thrive. We come alongside them with resources and strategic support so they can reach more children. We tailor our approach to each community, ensuring outreach is locally rooted for maximum impact.

We are for the whole child

Through high-quality programming and strategic support, we strengthen the whole child, focusing on three key areas:

Discipleship

by facilitating Bible literacy and discipleship programs to nurture children’s spiritual growth.

Health

providing urgent medical and dental care,  trauma counseling and nutritious meals.

Education

by ensuring children have the education, practical skills, and academic support needed to move forward.

Guided by the renewing power of Jesus, we seek to model His love for children and communities.

Discipleship

Education

Thriving in strong communities

When families are supported and communities are strong, children flourish. That’s why we invest not only in individual children but also in the wider community through skills training, health care, technology access, and programs that strengthen family life.

We are cultivating depth

Because of our long-term approach, we partner with churches and ministries who meet and exceed the high standards and metrics needed for transformational change.

Jen Verheye

Hope Story shares my love of children...the best “inventions” ever! Through Hope Story I have “met” such beautiful kids and feel like I am truly making a difference in their lives. Through emails, phone calls and online interviews, I feel like I am an integral - even though small - part of the work they do. Congratulations on 25 years of sharing hope!
