Program areas at Show Hope
Adoption Assistance- As the cornerstone of Shaohannah's Hope's work and foundational to the original mission of our founders, this organization awards Adoption Aid grants to reduce the financial barrier to adoption. Since the organization's inception, Adoption Aid grants have helped more than 8,600 children from 60+ countries, including the U.S., come to know the love and permanency of a family through adoption. During this reporting period, 319 Adoption Aid grants were awarded and over $3,094,000 in funds were distributed. Furthermore, this organization provides practical teaching and additional resources to better equip parents, churches, and professionals to support children impacted by adoption and foster care.
Orphan Care- Shaohannah's Hope is dedicated to raising awareness regarding the needs of children who have been orphaned. Building upon our Care Centers programmatic work in China, Shaohannah's Hope Medical Care grants program was launched in Fall 2020 to further reduce barriers to adoption by financially assisting families with medical expenses for their children welcomed home through adoption. During the current reporting period, 39 Medical Care grants were awarded, and $281,000 in funds were distributed.
Adoption Awareness- Shaohannah's Hope engages the Church and mobilizes individuals to care for orphans by making them aware of the needs of children who have been orphaned. This is accomplished by leveraging the brand of the founders and platform of the organization within the faith-based community to conduct concert tours, media campaign events, and to raise awareness. Additionally, Shaohannah's Hope educates and provides resources to individuals, families, and organizations regarding adoption and orphan care.
