Chariots for Hope

Chariots for Hope exists to love, nurture and provide for vulnerable and orphaned children by creating and sustaining holistically healthy children's homes

Chariots for Hope, Inc. was founded in response to a financial crisis experienced at a network of children’s homes in Kenya affiliated with the Africa Inland Church (AIC). The AIC had been informed by a European organization, the sole financial sponsor of this children’s home network, that it would cease funding these homes over a period of 18 months. Chariots for Hope was formed in 2009 to partner with the AIC by providing operational leadership and financial support to the AIC network of children’s homes. Chariots assumed responsibility for its first two children’s homes in late 2009. Chariots added three homes in 2010 and two homes in both 2011 and 2012. It opened its tenth home in January of 2013. The ten Chariots homes include two baby homes and eight children’s homes, providing love and care for nearly 1,000 vulnerable and orphaned children. While the Chariots for Hope story began in 2009, the AIC children’s homes it oversees started operating in the 1970’s. Accordingly, when Chariots stood in the gap on behalf of these children’s homes in response to the crisis that threatened to close the entire network of homes, it enabled a rich history of caring for vulnerable and orphaned children at AIC children’s homes to continue. Many graduates of children’s homes that are today part of the AIC-Chariots for Hope network have become outstanding citizens in Kenya, including pastors and magistrates. Chariots for Hope continues to provides hope to vulnerable and orphaned children so that they develop into exemplary, impactful citizens and leaders.

Did you know shoes are about so much more than walking? 👟🧡

For a child in Kenya, having a good pair of shoes can mean protection from painful jigger infections, safer walks to school, and greater confidence in the classroom and, one day, in the workplace.

Through our Shoes That Grow initiative partnered with Because International, you helped make a real impact:
👟 1,000 pairs of shoes provided to children
🧡 812 children received practical health and safety education
🦶 Education focused on protecting children from jiggers and other preventable health risks

These shoes are more than something to put on their feet. They are helping children stay healthy, stay safe, and feel confident as they learn and grow.

Thank you for helping children take a safer step toward the future God created them for. 🧡

Have you found your 'one'? 🧡

One child.
One story.
One moment that changes a life forever.

At Chariots for Hope, we believe every child deserves to be seen, known, loved, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Maybe your “one” is a child you've sponsored.
Maybe it's a child you've met on a trip to Kenya.
Maybe it's a child you've never met, but whose story has changed the way you see the world.

Whoever your “one” is, thank you for being part of giving them hope for the future God created them for. 🧡

It’s the first full day of fall in the US…but did you know Kenya doesn’t experience the same four seasons we do?

Today marks the first full day of fall here in the U.S., but in Kenya, the seasons look a little different!

Because Kenya sits near the equator, temperatures remain relatively warm throughout the year. Instead of four distinct seasons, Kenya generally experiences 'rainy' and 'dry' seasons, which vary depending on the region.
🌧️ Long rains: March–May
☀️ Dry season: June–October
🌧️ Short rains: October–December
☀️ Dry season: January–February

From weather and agriculture to school schedules and daily life, these seasonal changes play an important role in communities across Kenya.

There’s so much to discover about the children and communities Chariots for Hope serves. 🇰🇪

A classroom can teach you a lot, but sometimes the best lessons happen when you have the opportunity to step outside of it. 📚✨

Some of our grade 5–9 students recently had the opportunity to explore Nairobi and Mombasa through educational tours. They experienced new places, learned new things, and saw possibilities beyond what they encounter in the classroom each day.

Education opens doors. It gives children the opportunity to dream bigger, discover their strengths, and imagine a future full of possibility. 🇰🇪❤️

🙏 We serve a great God!

A God who sees every child.
A God who knows every story.
A God who is faithful in every season.
A God who is still writing stories of hope and redemption.
