our Family home for Rescued Girls in Peru - south america
Our Home
We are Restoring Hope International Foundation who is also doing business as Restoring Children International. Both names are registered with the IRS and the State of Washington as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
Our home for rescued socially at-risk female children is a family - not a shelter. As a social service organization, we provide a variety of help to the young lives under our care. Additionally, our kids receive love, attention, help, a good education even beyond high school, restoration, and a deep knowledge that God loves them and has a purpose for their lives. All this, and much more, like a responsible, healthy family should be.
Our Goal
To model to our rescued girls in Peru what a happy and healthy family is like. To provide for them love - in addition to the emotional, psychological, and physical security that they did not have before arriving to us. To provide for them a good education so that they can become agents of change for their society, culture, and world.
Most importantly: We serve to be an expression of God’s heart towards the children He gives us. His heart is expressed very well in Psalm 68, verses 5 and 6 – “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families…”
We consider it a privilege to be used of Him to provide a family for the children and youth that He has placed into our hands.
Restoring and Rehabilitating a Child
To properly restore and rehabilitate a child, a number of matters must first be taken into account for the “Whole Development of a Child”. A few of these include:
1. Education
2. Health
3. Spiritual Orientation
4. Good Clothing
5. Nutrition
6. Sense of being part of a family that forms spiritual and moral values such as: Loyalty, honesty, responsibility, solidarity, love, humility, peace and truth, justice, dignity and respect. In order to form these values as noted in #6, items 1-5 are needed.
