Holiday Dreams Can Come True....
Watch your mailbox for our
CHI 2007 Dreams brochure. While little children with moms and
daddies are entertaining visions of sugarplums, ipods and
animated dollies, orphans around the world can only dream of
good food, medical care and a warm bed at night.
YOU have the power to
make some of their dreams come true. Don't miss the
opportunity to give a few little children their dreams.
CHI Is Accredited
through 2010
 As
one of the world's leading advocates for quality services for
children and families, the Council on Accreditation reaffirmed
Children's Hope International's standards of excellence by once
again honoring CHI with COA accreditation through 2010.
The detailed reaccreditation process investigates ethical
practices, finances, service to families along with every aspect
of organizational integrity. "Children's Hope wants to
assure their families that we follow 'best practice standards'
and this independent investigation validates that," said Dianna
Briner, Children's Hope Finance and Compliance Director.
COA is currently in
negotiations with the U.S. State Department to become the only
official accrediting agency for all international adoption
agencies under the Hague Convention on Inter-Country Adoption.
The Hague is a multilateral treaty that provides a framework of
safeguards of protecting children and families involved in
inter-country adoption.
In the final report, COA
noted that Children's Hope's best trait is their passion.
Our staff know why we are here and display a passion to carry
out our mission!
New CHI Orphan
Sponsorship Program
Since the origins of
Children's Hope in 1992, we have time and money to the needs of
orphans wherever we have encountered them. As we became
increasingly aware of the immense needs of orphans worldwide, we
made the decision to establish an arm of our agency that would
encourage others to give as well, thus leveraging our own
efforts. We wanted to involve greater forces than our own
to make a greater impact.
Our first few years of
fundraising effort produced some results, but ultimately they
were too meager to really meet the vast needs of orphans
worldwide. Direct mail, grant writing, one-time appeals,
and "orphan train" events all had their moments of exhilaration,
but overall they did not produce many dollars to give to chidren
in need. So, after much research and considerations, CHI
has developed an orphan sponsorship program to meet the needs of
thousands more orphans worldwide.
