About HopeChest | Children's HopeChest

Igniting Hope in the World

Our vision is to ignite hope in the world. Because of that, we are on a mission, inspired by Christ’s love, to empower vulnerable children and their families to break the cycle of poverty and create sustainable, thriving communities, starting with the children.

Through our unique Community-to-Community model, we connect U.S. communities with those overseas, where orphaned and impoverished children need support the most. These partnerships create lasting, positive transformation in both communities, encouraging mutual growth and impact.

Mission: Why are we here?

Inspired by Christ’s love, Children’s HopeChest releases the potential existing within vulnerable communities, starting with the children.

Theory of Impact: How do we do this?

We come alongside local leaders to cultivate holistic community development through two-way transformational relationships.

Empower local leaders to provide food, medical care, and hope to their communities, while sharing the gospel.

Work with local leaders to reduce, and eventually eliminate, poverty by creating self-sufficiency for every child and every family in their community.

Support partnering communities as they directly engage with overseas communities to create sustainable transformation using healthy international development practices.

Address the complex causes of poverty, including material, spiritual, emotional, social, economic, and educational needs.

Put systems in place to reduce, and eventually eliminate, poverty in all of its forms.

Tend to children’s holistic needs for survival, community, education, and employment.

Transform the lives of children and their communities through a focus on sustainability, independence, and long-term self-sufficiency.

Transform the lives of the partnering community members through exposure, education, relationship, service, and perhaps most importantly, instilling hope.

We believe that…

Every person has inherent value, abilities, and assets. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and grace.
Through partnership we can improve the lives of individuals and their community and in turn make the world a better place.
Transformation is not a quick fix or transactional. It must be long-term and self-sustaining.
Through building relationships, discipleship and education, the communities we serve realize their God-given potential, overcome generational poverty, and can rise to meet their potential.
We glorify God by coming alongside and loving the vulnerable.
