Thank you so much for your support! Pictured below are three of the many couples that work with our project in Romania. We have been so blessed to have Romanian couples and families who have opened their hearts and their homes to the numerous children that are a part of the Orasul Sperantei (City of Hope) family as well as to the countless children that are still living on the streets and in the sewers of Romania. All three of these couples are in the process of adopting a child from our Village of Hope Baby House in addition to having their own biological children and other former street children from our project. Your love and support sustains these couples and the children they have graciously taken into their homes and helps further the work we are doing on the streets, in the orphanages, and in the abandoned baby maternity wards.

A recent press release issued by UNICEF titled "Babies Still Abandoned in Romanian Hospitals: Pattern Unchanged for 30 years", stated the following: "As new child rights legislation enters into force in Romania, a report finds that babies are just as likely to be abandoned in the country's maternity and pediatric hospitals as they were three decades ago. According to a survey supported by the Ministry of Health and UNICEF and carried out in over 150 medical institutions, around 4,000 newborn babies were abandoned in Romanian maternity hospitals immediately after delivery in 2004. 'The Situation of Child Abandonment in Romania' report finds that many of the mothers who abandon their children are very young, poorly educated and living in extreme poverty."


Our staff encounters this daily in their work with families, single mothers, and children and babies barely surviving on the streets of Romania. Because of generous and faithful donors such as yourself we are able to continue the work that we started over 10 years ago and, with your partnership, are able to bring hope and healing to the hurting children of Romania. Thank you and God bless you!
