Overview

Mission

The mission of heartbeat for hope inc is to partner with village of hope orphanage, and rural areas of ghana, in education, rural development and relationships.

What it reported doing in 2025

Village of hope child sponsorship & education - village of hope brings in children who have lost their families, or have none capable of caring for them. They house, feed, clothe, educate, and love them into adulthood to then reintegrate back into their villages or society to make a positive change. Heartbeat for hope financially sponsors children at the residential village to ensure that village of hope can continue to care for them as residents. We also assist with educational materials for their schools, teaching enrichment classes alongside their teachers, and financial assistance with various needs of the campus and the medical clinic.
