Compassion International

Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults. Sponsoring children in need is breaking the cycle of poverty.

A major focus of our trip to Rwanda will be meeting and visiting with the children that Joy and her husband sponsor through this great organization. Stay tuned to hear stories of our time with these beautiful children!

Hope International

As our vision to visit Rwanda grew beyond simply meeting sponsored children to connecting cultures, we teamed up with Hope International. HOPE has staff and clients in Kigali, Rwanda, where we'll be spending most of our time. We'll meet up with them and hear their stories so that we can provide HOPE with much-needed footage from the field.

Hope International empowers those living in need around the world to escape poverty by providing microloans, savings services, training, and mentoring to help people become self-sufficient. Working in 12 of the poorest, least-served countries in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean, HOPE is a Christian faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on alleviating the many dimensions of poverty – physical, social, and spiritual – through microenterprise development.
