Home of Hope

An orphanage for children on the street whose lives
were affected by HIV/AIDS.
Support Needed for Children in our Home of Hope Orphanage The Children’s Home of Hope was established in 2006 by our Ghanaian partners, Alliance for Youth Development with the aim of caring for and supporting children who are underprivileged and vulnerable. Up until 2010, the orphanage existed in a former post office building on loan from the community. However, this building was reclaimed and without a new facility the risk of homelessness because real again. The GO Fund’s Raise the Roof event in October 2010 successfully raised the funds to begin construction. Today, we have 28 children who live in the new Children`s Home of Hope facility, complete with three bedrooms, a indoor kitchen, running water, indoor showers, and a brand new patio space. Prior to living at the home, many children were living on the streets and most of them lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. These children, ages 2 to 18 are receiving the care, education and nurturing to ensure healthy physical and emotional development.
