Our Mission
Uplifting vulnerable children with love, care, and the gospel.

Through your giving, we aim to create lasting change and a brighter future for every child.

Every gift provides food, schooling, medical care, and the love of a Christian home for children who have lost so much.
Our Story
A 25-year legacy of love
How It Began
Founded by Dr. Terry & Linda Donohue
For 25 years, Dr. Terry and Linda Donohue have poured their lives into the children and churches of Southeast Asia. What began as a burden for orphaned children has grown into orphanages, Christian schools, an HIV center, and churches across Cambodia and Myanmar.
Their vision has always been simple: give every child food, shelter, an education, and, above all, the good news of Jesus Christ.
“A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.”Psalm 68:5 (KJV)
Carrying It Forward
The next generation
Today the work continues through the next generation of the family. Dr. Donohue's grandson, Stewart Hoffmeister, and his wife Katja serve alongside the ministry and are committed to carrying this legacy forward in Cambodia and Burma.
We work hand in hand with national pastors and teachers, so that every orphanage, school, and church is rooted in the local community and in the Word of God.
What Guides Us
Our convictions
The Gospel First
Physical care matters, but our greatest aim is that every child hears and understands the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Children as Family
Orphans are not a program to us. They are children who deserve a loving, Christian home and a hopeful future.
Local Partnership
We serve alongside local pastors and teachers, building churches and schools that belong to their communities.
