Hope Orphan Home

We are a place where the gospel is proclaimed, our children have hope and a future, and the community is cared for

When you partner with us to help care our children, you are changing an entire country’s future; you are helping us raise up men and women who love God and will improve Sierra Leone.

We recently received a very special gift at Hope Orphan Home. ❤️

A young boy spent months saving part of his allowance so he could send $20 to help care for the children at HOH.

Some might see twenty dollars. We see months of patience, sacrifice, and a heart that wanted to make a difference.

Thank you for reminding us that no gift given in love is ever too small. Your generosity has encouraged us more than you know. ❤️✨

Come experience it for yourself on November 6.

Adventure was calling this week at Hope Orphan Home! ❤️🥾

Seventeen of the children completed a 4 km hike to Mambo Falls near the village of Mambo. The trek wasn't easy, but the beautiful waterfall at the end made every step worthwhile.

We're thankful for opportunities like these that encourage the children to try new things, enjoy God's creation, and make memories they'll carry with them for years to come. 🌿💙

We wanted to share something we're both thankful for and proud of.

Following our recent annual financial review, we're encouraged to report that for every dollar Hope Orphan Home spent in 2025:

• 87¢ went directly toward caring for children and supporting ministry programs.
• 5¢ was used to raise additional support for the ministry.
• 8¢ covered administrative and operational costs.

Behind these numbers are real people and real ministry. They represent bowls of rice served, school fees paid, medical care provided, staff supported, and most importantly, children and members of their village hearing the Gospel.

We're grateful for God's provision, and we're proud that your generosity is being stewarded carefully and used where it matters most.

Thank you for partnering with us to bring hope and the love of Christ to Sierra Leone.

This week at Hope Orphan Home, the children took part in a special Sunday service at our church plant. ❤️🎶

They served in different ways during the service, including sharing special music, and it was a beautiful reminder of how they are growing and participating in their church family.

We’ve also been keeping up with a few bus repairs behind the scenes. Thank you for your continued prayers and support! 🚌✨

What can a pair of hands tell us?

Hands build homes. They plant seeds. They prepare meals. They create beautiful works of art. They care for children and serve neighbors.

This year's This Is Our Culture theme—Hands of Sierra Leone: A Look at Everyday Work and Life—celebrates the people behind these everyday tasks.

On November 6, you'll have the opportunity to experience a glimpse of daily life in Sierra Leone through interactive exhibits, authentic flavors, and stories that bring a rich culture to life.

We can't wait to share this experience with you.

A few snapshots from life at Hope Orphan Home this week. ❤️

The bunnies Sarah recently brought home for the children are growing fast, and the girls spent an afternoon working together to make a cake. 🐰🎂

It's special to see these everyday moments that help create a sense of home for the children in our care. ✨
