Organizations Filed Purposes:
Our mission is to provide support and resources to children of poverty living in Bogota, Colombia. This includes in-country support for adoptive families, matching grants for adoptions, and programs that provide educational and nutritional support to children living in poverty. Project Hope conducts annual mission trips to provide awareness and services.
Project Hope was able to provide support to American families who are adopting children from Bogota, Colombia. At the beginning of the pandemic, we had two families stranded in Colombia waiting for their adoption to be completed. Project Hope provided them with free housing and meals until they were able to return home. Although the house was not able to be used during the pandemic, when the country did open back up, we provided low-cost housing assistance, in-country assistance, and adoptive support for 14 families. In addition, we provided services to local adoption agencies both domestic and in-country to assist in the placement of children ready for adoption. We worked with a number of orphanages in Colombia to provide services such as Bible programs and help with repairs and improvements of facilities. Project Hope also provides in-country housing for missionaries and mission teams who are serving the community.
We were able to serve more than 100 children and their families in the Bogota communities of Prado and Capilla. We assisted in providing educational aid to children from the Prado and Capilla communities through Fundacion Maranata. We have been able to further assist children who have graduated from high school by providing assistance for college. Our Prado and Capilla ministries meet daily in local churches for educational aid as well as providing activities for the children at other times and places in the community. This year, we were able to extend our assistance to more than 500 families by providing food and other supplies to families hit by the Covid virus.
Project Hope normally hosts annual mission team trips to Bogota to serve in orphanages as well as in the Prado and Capilla Community Centers. Due to Covid, we were unable to host any trips this year.
