Why should we help orphans in foreign lands?

People ask us this a lot, and it deserves an honest answer.

First, a child is a child. Hunger doesn’t check a passport. A little boy in Cité Soleil who hasn’t eaten today feels the same ache in his stomach as a hungry child anywhere else. The difference is that nobody else is coming to help him. If we can reach him, we think we should.

Second, a little money goes a long way. Here in America, 63 cents barely buys a gumball. In Haiti and Uganda, 63 cents a day, or $19 a month, helps feed one child every day. Your gift doesn’t get lost inside a big organization. It turns into a bowl of food for a child in a place we know by name: Cité Soleil and Kenscoff in Haiti, and Bugweri, Jinja City and Kampala in Uganda.

Third, we know exactly where the money goes. Child Hope Worldwide started in 2018, after our founder visited orphanages in Haiti and met children who had lost everything. Our founder decided to do something about it. Today we give 150 children daily meals and basic care. When funds allow, we’re there every day, in the same communities, with the same children. You can see the work and name the places.

Last, helping children overseas doesn’t mean forgetting children here. Caring about a child across the ocean takes nothing away from a child at home. There’s room in our hearts for both.

If you’d like to help, $19 a month helps feed one child every day. You can give at givenet.org.

Thank you for asking, and for caring enough to hear the answer.
