Overview

Mission

Shaohannah's Hope's mission is to care for orphans by engaging the Church and reducing barriers to adoption, primarily by providing assistance to adoptive families to address the financial, medical, and knowledge barriers to adoption.

What it reported doing in 2024

During this reporting period, 420 Adoption Aid grants totalling $4,210,000 were awarded to families. Furthermore, this organization provides practical teaching and additional resources to better equip parents, churches, and professionals to support children impacted by adoption and foster care.
