ABOUT US
Why We Exist
ChildHope Network (CHN) is motivated by our belief that all children are created in God’s image and thus valued by their Creator and deserving of dignity and respect. We believe that quality education is essential for all children to reach their potential, especially at-risk children and children living in extreme poverty.
ChildHope Network is committed to life transformation through a holistic approach to physical, emotional, social, educational and spiritual care. We recognize the value of grass-roots initiative where compassion programs rise out of the local context rather than being imposed from outside influence. Additionally, we affirm that a faith-based approach is the most effective vehicle for transforming the lives of at-risk children, families and communities.
