For orphaned and vulnerable children in rural South Asia, survival is a way of life 

For orphaned and vulnerable children in rural South Asia,

survival is a way of life 

  • Without education, they are trapped in a cycle of poverty, leaving them defenseless to the exploitation of child labor or child marriage.


  • Without connection to a local church or the stability of a loving family, they go through life without hope, believing they are unworthy and unloved.


  • Without intervention, their futures are limited and the cycle of poverty and brokenness will continue unchecked for generations.

BUT AT RESTORING HOPE, WE BELIEVE No child should have to liVE on the edge of poverty, OR ALONE

We are committed to:

  • Holistic, child-centered care

    Restoring Hope partners with families and the local church to provide holistic, child-centered care so each child knows they are valued and loved. Our trained social workers play a vital role in advocating for each child’s unique needs. Through ongoing training, families and local churches are able to provide intentional support that lasts well beyond graduation.

  • Educating future leaders

    Educated children transform communities. Through Restoring Hope, sons and daughters of village laborers attend quality schools where they are fast-tracked to business opportunities and influential careers that change the trajectory of their lives, and even their families and communities.

  • Fostering life-changing community

    Through partnership with local village churches, children and their families are brought into instant community to lean on and learn from. Children have the opportunity to learn foundational truths and rhythms to set them up for a future filled with hope. Instead of navigating loss and hardship alone, they are surrounded by a loving community supporting them every step of the way.

  • Restoring dignity

    Restoring Hope is passionate about children knowing their worth and purpose in a culture where they are often overlooked. Through care and connection, we are able to tangibly show each child in our program that they are loved, they matter, and they can make a difference. 

  • Preserving families

    Restoring Hope has become a leader in what we call “family-based care” as we champion best practices in serving orphaned and vulnerable children. We come alongside families navigating loss and hardship to ensure children have the support they need to continue to grow and learn and thrive within their family context, preventing unnecessary separation.

  • Breaking cycles of poverty

    Children should have the opportunity to become agents of change in their own community. Restoring Hope empowers children to break generational, cultural, and spiritual cycles of poverty that limit their ability to thrive.

The impact of your partnership on orphaned and vulnerable children:

provide life-changing education

Your investment with Restoring Hope gives children an education their families could otherwise not afford, in the best schools available, all the way through college or a vocational program as desired—which leads to generational cycles of poverty being broken!

invest in locally-led solutions

Through your generosity, Restoring Hope partners with indigenous pastors and social workers on the ground in rural South Asia—leaders who have the cultural and relational resources needed to serve families and communities in ways that have staying-power.

prevent unnecessary family separation

Did you know 80% of the world’s “orphans” actually have at least one living relative? When partnership with Restoring Hope provides families with the resources and support needed to optimally care for their children in their own home, keeping these families intact.

Serving orphaned and vulnerable children in South Asia since 2008

Restoring Hope has been partnering with local churches, village pastors, and social workers to care for orphaned and vulnerable children since 2008. We currently serve more than 750 children, and their families. Through our family-based care program, children who could not envision a hopeful future are now graduating from college and moving on to careers that provide the resources and influence needed to create lasting change for their families and communities.


We are proud to be a member of the Christian Alliance for Orphans. Additionally, we are committed to financial accountability and transparency with our donors so we can continue to serve children and families of rural South Asia for years to come.
