Save the Life of an Orphan!


With our Ukraine Orphan Care Program, New Hope lifts orphan children out of state-run orphanages, and places them into solid Evangelical Christian families. The nurturing and guidance these families can provide can help heal the scars from being unwanted by biological parents and under-cared for by short-staffed orphanages.


Change the World for One Child

New Hope International offers these orphans hope. You can move a Ukraine orphan into a loving Christian home. Not only does this mean a refuge from despair, but it also means these children can . . .
  • Get an education
  • Be involved in a youth group and church body
  • Eat more nutritiously
  • Learn to cook
  • Learn how to find and be a faithful spouse
  • Learn marketable job skills
  • Learn to manage money
  • Have a relationship with Jesus Christ

. . . as well as all of the emotional and psychological benefits of being raised in a real family, rather than in an institution. Your gifts provide financial help to families willing to open their homes to these precious children.

 

 
The Grim Reality of “Graduating” From an Orphanage in Ukraine
Being raised in government orphanages leaves children ill-equipped to handle the challenges they will face when they are released into society, at age 16. The statistics on orphanage "graduates" in Ukraine are quite bleak:
  • 70% that he/she will end up in crime
  • 50% that she will become a prostitute
  • 33% that he/she will be homeless or unemployed
  • 30% that he/she will commit suicide within two years
  • 80% that his/her marriage will end in divorce
Why does this happen? Because these orphanages provide no practical training in even the basic skills they will need to survive on their own. They don’t know how to cook, they don’t know how to clean, how to wash their clothes, how to handle money; typically, they have no employable skills whatsoever, and a poor education. . .Nonetheless, they are discharged into society, wanted by no one other than those seeking to exploit their innocence.
What is the cost of sponsoring a Ukrainian orphaned child?

The cost of this program, to the sponsor, is $50 a month. $45 of this amount goes to help the foster family absorb the cost of taking on and caring for a new family member. $5 goes to pay the caseworker overseeing the region of Ukraine in which the family resides. Each caseworker is involved in regular meetings, as well as ongoing training in skills like parenting and child-development, with the foster families they serve. New Hope International does not take one penny out of the monthly $50 donation, so 100% of the sponsor’s monthly gift goes to Ukraine to help their child and family.

You Can Change a Child’s Life

If you could save a girl from becoming a prostitute . . . if you could save a young boy from committing suicide . . . If you could provide the nurturing and guidance a child needs to have a healthy, happy marriage . . . Would you?
