Orphan Hosting

Hosting is a transformative summer or winter experience where an orphaned child—without the stability of a permanent family—is welcomed into the warmth and care of an American host home during the holidays. Typically lasting 4-6 weeks (depending on the season), this is far more than a short vacation; it’s an opportunity to profoundly shape a child’s life.

Children in our programs are orphaned children from around the world, ranging from 5 to 15 years old, who come from orphanages or foster care. For many, the love and security of a normal family life is something they’ve never known—or were too young to remember. Hosting opens a window into what it means to be cherished, to belong, and to experience unconditional love.

During their stay, children gain English skills, build cross-cultural understanding, and discover new possibilities for their future. Most importantly, we strive to change the trajectory of their lives through this encounter with family love.

And the impact extends globally: When children return home, our host families and supporters fund orphanage or village outreach projects in their communities. These initiatives—like drilling wells, providing livestock, or funding educational resources—create lasting change where these children live.

Through hosting and orphanage/village outreach, we don’t just transform individual lives—we plant hope that grows for generations.
