iHope
Taiwan
To provide a free after-school program for disadvantaged, low-income, and new immigrant families including education, character development, encouragement, and physical provision.
The goal of iHope in Taiwan is to promote loving your neighbor as yourself. To this end, they provide an after-school program that serves disadvantaged, low-income, and immigrant children. They are devoted to society’s welfare and to the education of children. iHope would like to provide scholarships for 80 children. They also need another van for driving kids to school and back home.
Mission:
Target for 2024: $19,000
Breakdown: $13,200 for 80 scholarships at $165 each; $5,800 for a used van.
Additional Details: This project works in partnership with the Taiwan Assembly of God and is volunteer driven. The church has become a safe haven for children like Han, whose mother is in jail for using drugs. Han lives with her elderly grandmother, who has a gambling problem. Before Han came to iHope, she feared the debt collectors would come to the home while she was there alone. Thanks to the iHope family, she has a safe place to face life’s challenges and to grow academically and spiritually.
Pray:
Pray for the children iHope serves and the difficult situations they face. Pray also for the volunteers who serve, and that God will provide all of the resources needed to make the ministry successful.
