Christ’s Hope International

This small but impactful organization offers supporters the chance to make a direct, personal difference in the lives of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC’s) produced by the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. 

(Updated October 2018)

Christ’s Hope understands that institutionalizing these orphans is both expensive and ineffective in producing positive change; by working to provide and monitor family settings for them, the children and the communities involved are brought healing and hope for a productive (and AIDS free) future. For more on the advantages in placing AIDS orphans into extended family settings, see our interview with director David Kase, here.  Using it’s Ministry Carepoint model, Christ’s Hope works through existing community structures to raise up indigenous teams that create the networks and resources to help local families provide homes for OVC’s. Christ’s hope works together with these indigenous teams and partner churches in the US to co-design and implement projects that provide for the physical, social, spiritual, and educational needs of AIDS-orphaned children, including sponsorships to help provide family settings for orphans, education, and AIDS prevention.  For more on the Ministry Carepoint model, see  https://christshope.org/what-we-do/ministry-carepoints/

Christ’s Hope International’s delivery model is unique and effective. “Champions” help to fund new Ministry Carepoints, strategically located in communities with a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS and a correspondingly great need for the care and nurture of OVC’s. Ministry Partners are US churches who commit to supporting and helping with the work of a particular Ministry Carepoint – with guidance and support from Christ’s Hope, these church partnerships are among the most vibrant and personally connected projects that a church can undertake. In addition to the co-design and implementation of Carepoint projects, Ministry Partners (churches) provide opportunities for child sponsorships within that Carepoint community.  For more information on Church Partnerships, go to https://christshope.org/get-involved/church-partnership/

Whether you support Christ’s Hope as a child sponsor, ministry donor, champion a ministry carepoint, or investigate the possibilities for an amazing church partnership, you will be making a very personal difference with effects that will spread throughout the region for years to come.
