Hope Partners International Hope Partners International exists to rescue children and transform their lives through acts of compassion.

We establish Centers of Hope in some of the most impoverished parts of the world to care for the most vulnerable among us. Hope Partners is a Christ-centered international ministry with a simple mission: To rescue children and transform their lives. We fulfill this mission through one key strategy: We build Hope Centers in some of the world’s most desperately needy places. We’ve rolled up our sleeves and established Hope Centers in a poverty-wracked area on the outskirts of San José, Costa Rica…in a daunting slum near Nairobi, Kenya…and in forbidding regions in northern India. In the slums of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, more than 400 children and moms in extreme poverty come to our center to find food, medical care, trauma counseling and spiritual guidance. Hope Centers can also be found in Sri Lanka where 22% of Sri Lankans are undernourished or malnourished. Finally, displaced Ukrainian children and their families are looking for safe refuge, and their HOPE to live without trauma with a chance to rebuild their lives. Our Hope Center nearest Constanta, Romania is just 105 km from the border of Ukraine. Our Hope Center staff is ready to provide prayers, safe shelter, hot meals, hygiene supplies, fuel to keep warm, transport to safe areas, counseling support and more. Through acts of compassion, we can help in this immediate crisis. In each of these locations we help the helpless and give hope to the hopeless. In Jesus’ name and with his compassion we care for “the least of these” — the orphaned, abandoned, abused children who are left to fend for themselves in conditions so harsh and unforgiving that it defies description.

Sometimes the best question comes after you’ve seen it for yourself.

What more can we do?

For the children at our Hope Center in Sri Lanka, that answer can begin with prayer, a trip, or choosing to become part of one child’s story.

“What more can we do?”

One team member asked that question this week after spending time with the children at our Sri Lanka Hope Center and visiting their homes. Some families of four or five live in a space smaller than a one-car garage.

Today, we shared their joy as they built structures with spaghetti and marshmallows. A simple activity gave us time to laugh, work together, and get to know them better.

The more we know these children, the more that question stays with us. Will you join us in helping provide meals, education, and loving care?

A day’s wages can only buy so much. For many Hope Center families in Colombo, basic groceries are hard to afford.

These parents work to provide for their children. But their earnings don’t always cover what their families need.

Care for a child cannot stop at the Hope Center door.

Through our food parcel program, families receive five kilos of rice, lentils, flour and other staples to help prepare meals at home. It’s one way our local team puts God’s love into action and stands beside parents in difficult times.

Your support helps make programs like this possible. Partner with Hope Partners to help care for children and their families in Sri Lanka.

When feeding your family takes everything you earn, school supplies can be out of reach.

That’s the struggle for parents working for daily wages whose children attend our Hope Center in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

For Children’s Day, our staff prepared backpacks with exercise books, pencil cases, lunchboxes, water bottles, and other supplies to help children with school.

Each bag is a practical act of compassion in Jesus’ name, helping parents provide what their children need.

Please pray for these families and partner with us to help children in Sri Lanka.

Sometimes a child needs someone willing to explain it one more time. To notice their progress. To encourage them to try again.

As we celebrate Teachers’ Day in Sri Lanka, we thank the teachers serving children at our Hope Centers around the world.

Thank you for your patience, your prayers, and the care you bring to every lesson. You help our students learn, grow in confidence, and see what they can accomplish.

Join us in thanking God for our teachers today.

Some children arrive here having eaten only two biscuits.

Their parents are still waiting to be paid. There is no money yet for another meal.

Inside this building in Colombo, children receive a meal, help with their studies, and care from people who know their families. Here, our Director Noel and his team share the love of Jesus through what they teach and how they serve.

What began with three children has grown to nearly 60. Now, finding room for more is the challenge.

Today, a team from Church At Viera arrives in Sri Lanka to join them.

They will meet the children and the people who care for them long after a visit ends. We look forward to sharing those moments with you in the days ahead.

Please pray for safe travels, for Noel and his team, and for every child who walks through these doors.

May each child know they are loved by God and cared for here.
