Hope For The Nations


Learn more about this Program Program: CHILD SPONSORSHIP

Child sponsorship offers you the unique opportunity to be involved in the life of a child who needs your support.  At Hope for the Nations we have two options for how you can sponsor a child: 

  • One-To-One Sponsorship in which you are partnered with one child;
  • Special Project Sponsorships

Whichever option you choose, Child Sponsorship offers you the opportunity to engage with a child in a meaningful way!

Learn more about this Project Project: AK-47 Child Soldier Rescue Project

One third of the approximately 300,000 child soldiers in the world live in Southeast Asia. Yet "live" is a relative term. Due to political and ethnic instability, conflict is widespread and children and their families suffer. Boys and girls as young as 6 years old are forced into local ethnic armies where they are trained as soldiers for guerrilla warfare. Their purpose: to serve and defend the drug lords of the area at the cost of losing their parents, families, homes and even their own lives.

Our Coalition Partner exists to rescue these children

Together, HFTN and Divine Inheritance take child soldiers out of hopeless situations and care for them. We work in restricted access regions of Southeast Asia to provide these children with shelter, food, clothing, education, spiritual care and love.

We train these children to become leaders in their communities. Some of them will end up working on tea plantations, others as teachers or government leaders. In every aspect of life they are being taught to carry a spirit of excellence and to create a positive impact on the regions they live in.

You can help by investing in raising up vibrant young leaders in regions that are rife with instability, drugs, smuggling, disease and wars. For $7/week you can help rescue and rehabilitate a child soldier.

To participate, create an account under "My Account" and then click on "Donate" from this page. You can then enter your recurring sponsorship donation ($30/month minimum).

Our partner organization, Divine Inheritance (DI), has a historical presence in Southeast Asia spanning over 120 years of work with children and families. [Click here to learn more about our partner]

I kind of grew up hearing about "NGO"s from the time that I was born because my grandpa and grandma work for Hope for the Nations. When I was about 4 the light finally came on and I figured out what an "NGO" was: "Dad, I get it! B-I-N-G-O! It's a dog! But why do you keep talking about a dog?"

So no kidding now...for those of you out there who don't know what an NGO is, it's a group that volunteers to help others, like Hope for the Nations does. I like Hope because it helps kids like me who have a lot less than me.

I am really interested in the AK-47 project because I have helped sponsor a girl from that Children's Home - Esie - for almost 8 years. I pray for her every day that she'll be safe. Now I would like to help raise money to save more Esies from being child soldiers, and you can help me!

I'd like to raise enough money to rescue and support one child soldier. That costs $7/week. I want to raise enough for 1 child for 1 month. Maybe you can do $5 per month? Let me know.

    Hey Aidan, your mom showed me the AK-47 video. I met an ex-child soldier in Rwanda a few years back and he had some crazy, horrifying stories to tell.

    Glad to help out, wonderful to see kids helping kids.
