Point Hope

Point Hope is a charity organization that aspires to be the voice for forgotten children. One does not have to look farther than the end of their block, or the edge of their town, to find more than one forgotten child. Some children are brought into this world and are immediately thrust into the cold hands of state-sponsored foster-care programs. Others are brought into this world by well-meaning parents who lose their parental confidence, and give up all hope of preparing the child for the years ahead. Outside of the United States, the number of children born into underdeveloped nations, where resources and money are scarce, are equally in need of strong advocacy to promote their health and development. Each example provides enough reason for Point Hope to exist as a beacon of caring and leadership for individuals who want to help as many children as possible realize their full potential. Point Hope’s mission is to provide long-lasting solutions that will benefit the forgotten children, and to be their voice, saying “Don’t forget about me; I am a person too!"

The Water Is Flowing!

Our initiative to bring water to the thirsty refugees has finally met with some success. This was no small feat, as we had to construct a water tower, install underground piping, and negotiate with the Ghana Water Company, just to get the water there in the first place. In May 2008, the first regular flow of water from the water tower we built was made available to the refugees via two operating spigots. More help is needed.
