We are working to create a world where children become educated, healthy adults who are involved in their communities and share their love of Jesus Christ. In order to affect this long term result we have chosen to make every decsion with the best interest of the children in mind.
Children are given access to education of many different kinds. Pre-school, elementary, high school and in some special cases univerisity level schooling is made available to those in our projects.With knowldge the child can grow into an adult that makes informed reasoned decisions helping themselves, their families and communities.
Wellness is a intregal part of our work. Children who feel good, learn better and play harder! Wellness speaks to physical health, emotional health and living in a clean environment. We teach health in our schools and work with caregivers to improve their care for children with special needs.
Children are being taught to be involved in their communities and engaged in family life. Good interpersonal relationships and good citizenship go hand in hand. Learning to be involved with others is central to creating a society that functions well.
Christ taught that as we go about our work, we are to make disciples. Faith forms an important part of each of our lives. Therefore, the Christian message is included in most of our projects.Some projects are openly sharing the gospel, while in others we are showing the gospel through and how we conduct ourselve in daily situations and by caring. As we carry out our various projects, our staff is always ready to explain that we are doing this in Jesus name and because we want the very best for them.
Check out the links to the left for specific examples of what we are doing in education, health, social integration and faith. You can be involved.
It is important to emphasize the equal value of all children, especially the ones who have various disabilities. We work to change attitudes and the continuing education of the people who work with these special children.
We also provide professional assistance with training and rehabilitation. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for these children and their families. We strive to see them integrated into schools and their societies.
Star of Hope International believes that every child deserves access to education, including learning reading, writing, and math.
We prioritize education and support it in various ways, such as building pre-schools, elementary and vocational school complexes, and providing teacher training. Additionally, we provide necessary materials, books, and supplies for classrooms and offer programs for early childhood, elementary, high school, and vocational level education.
We strive to include faith-based teachings in all our schools and grades. We also help children achieve their academic goals, even up to the university level if their sponsor is able to provide support. Furthermore, we provide community education for adults in literacy, agriculture, and self-economic improvement, recognizing that a self-sufficient family unit is vital for a child's success.
Star of Hope International works through local nationals in each nation. We believe that they are the best suited to help children in their own societies. They know the culture, the language and are able to see the true needs of the children. In this way, we strive to use every penny of our resources in the most effective manner.
We hold our partners in the project nations to the same high standards that we hold ourselves too, and that you expect. In each country where we carry on long-term development projects, we work with indigenous organizations, their boards and within the cultural norm for making decisions.
This makes it possible for the recipients of assistance to improve their own lives and contribute to their own development. Their abilities grow along with the confidence to do more. Our goal is to produce positive development across the entire society.
Star of Hope International works tirelessly to help in the development of the local villages where we work. Our largest activity is assisting the local people in recognizing their own needs, their own resources, possibilities and helping them find ways to meet the needs they have identified for the community.
The family is vital to a child's development and growth into a mature, secure and productive person. The home is our first school where we learn life's most important lessons. We in Star of Hope International desire to strengthen the family and the role it plays in the development of the child.
One way is to encourage parental involvement in the child's school. At many of our projects, evening classes are held where adults are given the opportunity to learn how to read and write, the importance of nourishing foods and basic healthcare.
Unfortunately, in many locations, the mother is alone in carrying the burden of supporting her family. In these cases, we strive to empower the mothers through education and opportunities to be involved in income generating activities.
