In order for children to thrive, families must have a safe place to call home. For many around the world, they do the best they can to create loosely constructed homes with found material.

In Viet Nam, where housing remains a constant strain, Brittany’s Hope helps build homes to help keep families together. Working with the communities which we have long standing relationships, we identify families in need, prioritizing single parent families from our program. For $7,000 USD, you can build a home that provides not only safety for a family, but also security for generations to come.

Well-balanced meals are crucial to children’s short and long-term health and development. When families face economic hardships, they may eat only one meal per day. for some children, they may not be the main priority in the family, leading to hunger and malnutrition.

Providing food relief to families in extreme poverty keeps both parents and children healthy, ensuring children do not go to sleep hungry.

Water, essential to all life, is a precious commodity in many regions of the world. Women and children travel long distances to collect water, sometimes putting themselves at risk. This is valuable time that children could be learning at school, and mothers could be earning income for their families. Even more troubling, after all the time and sacrifice, the quality of water drawn from streams is often unsafe to consume.

Brittany’s Hope strives to increase access to clean water for children and families. Borehole water pumps in Kenya, for instance, bring not only water, but hope to communities in need. 

Throughout the world, children continue to face sickness and even death from preventable illnesses- but we can help by providing vaccines, regular dental care, and access to necessary surgeries.

By ensuring children and families in our program have proper healthcare, Brittany’s Hope is helping to keep families healthy, united, and strong.

Our programs help to give children with disabilities the gift of mobility. Your gift can provide adaptive equipment such as shoes, feeding utensils, and walkers. Medical equipment specifically designed to support children with disabilities can improve maneuverability, happiness, and quality of life.

The stigma of having a child with special needs continues to persist in many developing countries. There are times when children need surgeries that their families just cannot afford. Brittany’s Hope works with our local partners to provide medical support, when needed, to children with special needs and their families.

For children with physical disabilities like cerebral palsy, access to physical and occupational therapy can make a world of difference. In 2018, Brittany’s Hope partnered with Ha Tinh Village in Viet Nam to build a special adaptive living home for children with disabilities. For children who once were shuttered away in their own communities, this home gave them a chance for a better quality of life.

Brittany’s Hope is proud to support therapy services for children at Ha Tinh Village, as well as  children living in the community. In addition, caregivers receive support and training from Physical and Occupational Therapists and students during our service-learning trips.
