A Child's Hope Foundation

Every child deserves a family—whether it’s a birth family, adopted family, foster family, or even inside a family-style orphanage. Millions of children worldwide need the care and support that only a family can give.  A Child’s Hope Foundation relights the flame of hope in children’s hearts by helping them find the real meaning of family in whatever their unique circumstances:

No two families are alike. No two children are alike. That’s why A Child’s Hope Foundation works to help children in a variety of situations and circumstances—because every child deserves the hope and comfort of a family.

There are over one billion people world-wide who struggle with reading. These people are not just statistics. They have hopes and dreams, periods of struggle, and success. And most importantly, they face their challenges to become champions to their families and communities. Their faces and stories may be familiar. After all, they could be people in your own backyard.

Impact

Our purpose is to develop value in projects and buildfamilies. We believe that true impact of any of our activitiesbegins within the walls of our own homes and communities.  There, we can cause things to happen.  It is there where the impact can be seen,measured and duplicated more easily than other grandiose ideas.

Sentinel Foundation

Sentinel Foundation was founded with one goal in mind – to end underage children being exploited around the world. While this cause isn’t new, our method to achieve it is. We have the personnel, technology, the law enforcement support, and more importantly the perseverance to see it through. The Sentinel Foundation Operations team focuses on targeting elusive child traffickers that use highly skilled methods to find and exploit their victims. Children in underdeveloped and under resourced countries have virtually no defense against these networks.

Upward Reach Foundation

Over the past 20 years the Foundation has provided a variety of mental health and substance abuse services. In recent years Upward Reach has focused on developing an evidence-based pornography prevention program. Upward Reach’s number one objective is to eliminate underage viewing of pornographic material. The science of prevention has successfully demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing a variety of problem behaviors including alcohol use, drug use, suicide, etc. There has been no organized effort or research pursuing a prevention program focusing on the underage viewing of pornography. Upward Reach has embarked on this project of developing, executing, and researching an effective pornography prevention program.

Voices For Virtue

The Foundation adapts strategies that have already been proven to have successfully prevented underage alcohol use to the area of underage viewing of pornography. Voices For Virtue is based on proven prevention strategies from Communities That Care. Porn Proofing Kids is based on the proven prevention strategies from Parents Empowered. The adaptation includes adding the component of “Wholesome Sexuality” to these proven prevention strategies.
