Every Orphan's Hope
Organization
Founded in 2000
Vision
Every Orphan's Hope is committed to sharing the love of Jesus Christ with orphaned children in Africa. Our mission is to love, protect and care for orphans affected and infected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. We work through indigenous Christian churches to visit, defend, comfort, encourage, pray and care for orphans. Through acts of love we reveal the gospel of Jesus Christ, encourage the Church, disciple the nations and glorify God.
Short-term missions and in-country internships are strategic to fulfilling our mission and vision. Join us in Zambia as we labor together in the fields of the fatherless. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few – pray! You may be one of the workers He raises for such a time as this!
