Mission Statement
Children with Hope exists to meet the spiritual, physical, emotional, educational and economic needs of orphan children. CWH is a Christian organization that seeks to accomplish this mission by effectively and wisely providing the services most critical to children who have been orphaned.
Children With Hope – Philosophy
Children with Hope is a Christian ministry that is based on biblical principles. We believe that Christ has called us to minister to the hurting in our world, and orphans are one of those special groups that we are called to care for (James 1:27). One of the basic principles that CWH is based on, is that of integrity. The issue of integrity goes to financial stewardship and extends to the manner in which the CWH board conducts the ministry. Board members receive no compensation of any kind for their service. Further, we have been blessed with donations from board members themselves to cover all administrative costs. This allows 100% of the funds which are raised to go toward the development of the Children’s Home. Each board member who has gone to Kenya for Children With Hope has also paid entirely for their own trip.
The Eldoret orphanage will be the first that Children With Hope establishes. We are blessed to have seen God raise up people both in the U.S. and in Kenya to assist us each step of the way. We have already started to see an “infra-structure” take place of both Kenyans and Americans to provide advice and direction. These “advisors” range from missionaries to pastors to others in the U.S. and Kenya.
We have yet to see how many Homes the Lord will direct Children With Hope to establish. We are open to the establishment of many homes over the years ahead. The CWH board is committed to excellence in each project that is undertaken. We wish to rely on God’s timing and leading, rather than our own opinions and agenda. Additional homes most likely would initially be considered in Kenya as we will have gone through the organizational processes and will have the appropriate structures in place. However, we would be open to going into other countries as God leads and opens doors.
Ages of children which CWH plans to work with: We most likely will begin with children who are 3 – 8 years old. We remain open to working with younger children as the Lord provides the resources and funds.
