These are more challenging times than ever in caring for orphans internationally. We thank God for all the children we are helping through Orphan's Hope supporters. Here are some highlights from recent weeks....
Dear Supporters,
My name is Joshua, and my wife is Elie! We moved to northern Shan state of Myanmar in 2005. My wife is a schoolteacher and I had been working as a forester. We started our ministry to orphans in 2011 with 20 children whose parents had been killed in the civil war in our region. Two years ago, the number orphans started increasing every month.
Here is a report from Western Ukraine where our staff are helping with a flood of refugees coming from war torn areas.
Yours support is appreciated. Thank you!
Orphanages in Myanmar are without food and are calling for help. Due to civil war things are extremely difficult.
Orphan's Hope is working hard to feed, cloth, educate, and provide caring homes for orphans who have no one else to help them. The reality is that they need us.

We are helping an orphanage in Pakistan that has 25 orphans with no one else to care for them. We have just finished a great project putting in a fresh water well to bless this extremely poor orphanage and provide water for the whole village. They had to go 9 kilometers round trip by foot daily to get water. We have also been able to meet their needs for food, clothes, blankets, and roof repair. They had one toilet with no roof which has now been rebuilt with boys and girls bathrooms and showers with fresh water from the new well.
Dear Friends, I can't say a lot here but I know many of you have heard the reports of the military coup in Myanmar. The situation is very bad and fellow believers at asking for everyone’s prayers for the country. We have many orphanages calling for help as they are struggling for food for the children, between the coup and pandemic. Rice and other food prices have doubled, markets and businesses are closed for the most part, hundreds of thousands of people have been taking to the streets in peaceful protests, thousands of criminals have been released, and communications lines have been cut.

Translation of Oleg’s video message
“My name is Oleg. I was 6 years old when I was removed from my family and placed in an orphanage. I lived at the orphanage for the rest of my school-aged years; I have never had a family. But after graduation from the orphanage school, I went to US for a period. I became acquainted with a family, and they invited me to live with them for a year. This family experience had a big impact on my life. I became more open towards people. When a child is in an orphanage, he is so withdrawn. But with the family in America I became more open, friendly, and social...

We have a great team in Ukraine with a renewed vision for 2020-2021. New plans are coming and we will share with you soon. Pasha is working with teenage orphans, teaching them about computers and programing. Vova and Yan grew up in an orphanage and were mentored by Orphan's Hope staff. They love the Lord and have a great heart for the kids with a gift in connecting, mentoring, and being a light in the children's lives. Dima has been leading our staff and teams for about 18 years.
Thank you to our supporters! You are a wonderful blessing in a time of great need. Orphanages have been out of food or only having rice porridge. Thanks to God and you we were able to deliver over 75 tons of food in the last four weeks. In addition to food relief we have also delivered thousands of eggs (500 per orphanage) and 250 Kg. fish from our farm.
