About the Organization

A Child’s Hope Foundation (ACHF) is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives and long-term outcomes of orphaned and vulnerable children around the world. Rather than operating orphanages directly, ACHF partners with child welfare organizations, practitioners, and governments to strengthen systems of care and advance family-based solutions that prioritize the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of children. Through its Connect, Train, and Fund model, the organization equips partners with practical tools, training, and resources to improve care environments and help more children transition into safe, stable family settings.

Today, ACHF operates with an annual budget of approximately $3M and is preparing for significant growth, with a strategic vision to scale to $10 million in annual funding in the coming years. By building a scalable model that combines assessment tools, training resources, collaborative networks, and targeted implementation support, ACHF identifies what is working across global partners, codifies those approaches, and elevates best practices across the field. Guided by the belief that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving environment, the organization plays a critical role in advancing a broader global movement toward family-based care.
