ABOUT HOUSE OF HOPE
House of Hope was birthed out of the tremendous need to help young girls and women, trapped in brothels in Latin America experience transformation. We currently work in Nicaragua, Honduras, and Bolivia with day programs and residential centers to equip women spiritually and vocationally for a new life in Christ.
MISSION
Our mission is the integration of women and their children into society, transformed through the power of healing and complete discipleship and vocational training within a safe, loving, and serving community.
VISION
To see women decide to follow Christ and leave behind sexual commerce; women who are transformed personally, economically, in their family life, and are fully equipped to be integrated into society.
