      House of Hope Child Sponsorship Program

      The aim of the child sponsorship program is to allow supporters of the House of Hope to contribute towards the cost of the care of those being served by the House of Hope whilst allowing them to get to know one or more of the individuals who are being helped and served by the House of Hope.  You will find below a selection of those who live residentially at the House of Hope and who can be sponsored.  Although we call it our child sponsorship program it is also possible to sponsor adults who also live residentially at the House of Hope.
