Hope House

HFAP has a baby home for malnourished infants and young children ages 0-3. These precious little ones are brought to us on a regular basis at clinics, food distributions, and visits to the slums. Many times mothers bring us their children because they cannot afford to feed them. By the time the mother gives the child up, sometimes it is too late to help. These women love their children so much, they do not want to give them away, but they cannot afford to keep them alive.

HOPE House takes in these infants and young children and provides everything necessary to bring them back to health. This requires food, testing, medication, loving care, and a clean environment. During this time the mothers have the option of being enrolled in our Gift of Hope program. Once the mother is earning enough profit to feed her child, and the child is healthy, the family will be reunited. In most cases children live with us for 3-4 months. Once they return home, the mothers bring them back every Thursday for a check-up. The mothers are rewarded for every good check-up to ensure their children are being fed and taken care of with the money they are earning. In cases where the mother is dead, or unable to learn to run a small business, the child will be available for adoption to a loving family.

HFAP is committed to providing each of our children with proper nutrition, education, a safe living environment, and loving people to care for them at all times. Every child is matched with sponsors from the states who pay $30 a month to help care for one child’s specific needs.
