Because we have been grafted into god's family, hgi desires to pour out christ's love and hope to orphans, vulnerable people, and adopting families through financial support and relational encouragement.
What it reported doing in 2025
We desire to engage the followers of jesus in the orphan care movement by providing emergency releif aid, sustainable project developement, and sponsorship facilitation, all in the context of real relationship. Through our relationships we have come to love and trust the intelligent christian men and women that god has placed in leadership at these orphanages. Our friends know what they need to make their ministries thrive and we are honored to learn from them. We believe that adoption is one of the most beautiful pictures of the gospel. We know that the adoption journey can also be hard. We desire to make that burden a little lighter with our adoption grants and fundraising partnerships.
