Project Hope: Gift Match Campaign
Project Hope is our plan to strengthen the programs and services provided to all our sponsored children. In 2026, a generous Foundation has approved the projects on this list and is matching all donations up to $500,000!!
Some of our ten schools need significant capital investments. Project Hope plans call for two schools to be built and for additional classrooms to be added at existing schools. Each new classroom will need new desks and a chalkboard. Within the Project Hope framework, all students will receive spiritual training at their local school and leadership opportunities at Camp Hope.
In response to the overwhelming need for adequate nutrition, Project Hope ensures that every student receives a nutritious lunch every school day and has access to clean drinking water. In addition, with so many families lacking health information and access, a goal is to improve accessibility of health care. Project Hope highlights the need for excellence in orphan care by planning facility improvements and by developing vocational training programs that will equip older students with essential skills for independent living.

Additional Classroom at Hinche School
Hinche Christian School is preparing to expand to a 13th grade in the 2026–2027 school year, but two additional classrooms are needed to make this goal possible. Completing these classrooms will allow students to remain at their home school through their final years of secondary education, rather than transferring elsewhere. This expansion represents an important step toward providing consistent, quality education and long-term opportunity for every student we serve.

Soccer Balls, Jump Ropes, and Basketballs
Outdoor play is an important part of a child’s physical, social, and emotional development. Our schools need basic sporting equipment such as soccer balls, long double-dutch jump ropes, and basketballs so children can safely and actively play during recess and after school. Providing these simple resources encourages healthy exercise, teamwork, and positive social interaction, helping children grow stronger and more engaged both inside and outside the classroom.

Textbooks & Teacher Manuals
Many parents are unable to afford the required textbooks for their children. To ensure every student has access to essential learning materials, we seek to purchase 20 copies of each required textbook to be kept at school for daily classroom use. In addition, teachers need corresponding teacher manuals to effectively plan lessons. Without adequate textbooks and teaching resources, it is not possible to achieve our goal of educational excellence for every child.

Repairs to the Cazeau School Bathroom
The school bathrooms urgently need repairs. Plumbing problems limit proper use, and several stalls lack doors, leaving students without privacy or dignity. These conditions raise health and sanitation concerns. Funding is needed to repair the plumbing and install stall doors so students have safe, clean, and private restroom facilities that support their well-being and daily attendance.
Cost: $5,000

Wastewater Drainage System (Puisard)
At Cazeau Christian School, the rooftop area adjacent to the kitchen lacks an adequate drainage system. When it rains or when dirty water from kitchen sinks is emptied, the water collects and remains standing on the roof. This creates unhealthy conditions, increases the risk of contamination, and exposes children to potential illness. The school has requested the construction of a puisard—a wastewater soak pit—to safely drain and dispose of this water, improving sanitation, protecting student health, and preventing ongoing water buildup.
Cost: $14,000

Repairs to Water Pump System
Our orphanage is located high on a hill, making it impossible to drill a well despite multiple attempts. Currently, we purchase truckloads of water that are stored in an underground cistern; however, the existing water pumps and pipes are broken, and water cannot be transferred to the roof-level tank. Although we have a storage tank in place, it cannot be used without a functioning pump system. We are seeking funding to repair the pumps and piping so water can be pumped to the roof and distributed by gravity to meet the daily bathroom and kitchen needs of the orphanage.
Cost: $7,000

Space to Store Essential Supplies
Our orphanage has many essential supplies but limited space to store them. The children’s bedrooms are small, with six children sharing each room, leaving little space for extra belongings. A dedicated storage area would provide an organized place for additional clothing, kitchen supplies, and outdoor equipment. This added space would help reduce overcrowding in the dormitories and allow the children’s living areas to remain cleaner, safer, and more comfortable.
Cost: $30,000

Opportunity for Advanced Training
Once children leave the orphanage at the age of 18 or complete high school, we provide an opportunity for them to enroll in courses to gain a skill and/or be certified in a profession (1–2-year programs).
Some children are trained in nursing, information technology, agriculture, etc. This program is called Promising Adult Continued Education Training (PACES). We seek sponsors to support students individually or those who give to this fund to help any student who qualifies.

Sewing Machines, Cooking Appliances, Instructors
As our children enter their teenage years, teaching practical life skills becomes especially important. All older children participate in weekly baking and sewing classes that help prepare them for independence. Sewing machines and supplies are needed to teach clothing creation and repair, skills that can provide future income and reduce expenses. Kitchen appliances and cooking supplies allow the children to learn how to prepare nutritious meals and practice daily self-reliance.

Training and Supplies Needed for the Animals and Gardens
At our orphanage, children are trained to care for chickens, tend gardens, and develop other essential agricultural skills. These established programs require ongoing funding to properly feed and care for the animals and maintain productive gardens. In addition, at our school in Thomazeau, an agronomist teaches 4th and 5th grade students how to plant and maintain a garden, extending these benefits beyond the orphanage. Through this hands-on training, children gain practical skills that will one day help them provide for their own families.
