Children's Hope International is committed to providing homes, health and hope to children in need. Our work with orphaned children began in 1992 as the Children's Hope International adoption agency. After 10 years as a leader in the field of international adoption, Executive Director Dwyatt Gantt moved closer to fulfilling his vision of helping the children who are left behind. Since the beginning, Children's Hope provided whatever financial or in-kind assistance it could, and in 2001 it established a separate department to raise funds and organize direct aid projects. Children's Hope's development aid programs are designed to address the many needs of orphaned children in 8 countries. Through our experience worldwide, we have seen such children's needs firsthand and our souls have been deeply touched.
