Today we’re so grateful as we review the past year and prepare to share our collective achievements with you!
2025 has been a landmark year, filled with success stories, sustainable growth in our reach, and the exciting launch of new programs in Colombia and Argentina, our first new programs in 13 years!
This year has also been one centered around meals: each and every day you helped us provide over 3,300 freshly-cooked meals and 3,300 servings of clean water to the women and children in our programs for over 1.2 million meals served in 2025.
We’re thrilled to present you with your 2025 Year-End Impact Report below!
We’re deeply thankful for your support and for God’s grace, which has sustained our field staff, volunteers, and over 1,600 women and children who rely on our programs for their security, rehabilitation, nutrition, and education.
FUNDING. Year-to-date, over $850,000 has been raised in support of orphans, trafficking survivors and child labor victims at 24 project locations. This was multiplied further in our small business and farmland efforts as cited later in this report.
MEALS. Approximately 1.2 MILLION fresh meals (over 3,300/day) were served to children and staff in need thanks to your generosity and the multiplying effect of our farms and gardens.
ORPHAN CARE. 546 orphans were provided a loving home environment, education, and nutrition consistently throughout the year.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE. 3,044 medical visits were facilitated for women and children in our programs. Our emergency fund immediately covered these needs without the need for special fundraisers thanks to your generous support of our 2024 year-end campaign! The majority of these cases were among our Uganda students suffering from tropical diseases.
MULTIPLICATION. Your “seed” funding was multiplied to produce a record-breaking 66.5 tons of food on our farmlands, fisheries, and hen houses, providing operating income and fresh ingredients for our children’s meals.
GIRL GRADUATES. In our She Has Hope human trafficking response programs, 90 girls received their high school diplomas, and 52 received college or trade school diplomas!
EDUCATION. You helped us see 1,359 scholarships provided in 2025, saving children from hazardous child labor or trafficking at our 9 resident homes, 7 Hope Centers, and 5 schools, and a further 156 scholarships provided for students at our 7 trade schools.
This year, you helped us add a variety of 5 new schools to our programs: Myanmar on-campus, Colombia primary, Argentina early childhood, Colombia Casa Vida trade school, and India Nursing College.
IMPROVEMENTS. Wow! We saw many major improvements in 2025 thanks to your support:
1️⃣ We launched a new on-campus school for our Myanmar program by modifying and fully equipping existing space on the third floor of the main building.
2️⃣ At our Uganda main campus, we installed a new rainwater catchment and irrigation system for the farm, prepared the soccer field for school sporting events, and fully renovated the school bathrooms.
3️⃣ Our new India nursing college building neared completion, the college was successfully launched using existing space, and we renovated the bathrooms to support the new program.
4️⃣ We added a brand-new computer lab at our Uganda primary school (see photo below)!
5️⃣ Our Colombia program “Casa Vida” received important upgrades, including security cameras, fresh paint throughout, new sewing machines, and more.
6️⃣ We equipped our Cebu, Philippines team with a new, larger hen house, significantly increasing egg production at the farm.
SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISERS. Our annual gala, “A Taste of Hope” raised over $100,000 for our programs in one night.
Thanks to your support, my “24 Hour Photo Project” in Bangkok, Thailand raised over $16,000 in one day along with awareness among thousands who saw my photos and live videos talking about She Has Hope.
TRAFFICKING RESPONSE. We saw many breakthroughs in our human trafficking response programs such as 24 girls enrolled in our rehabilitation home and trade school in Nepal, and 19 girls enrolled in our Colombia Casa Vida trade school.
39 women were enrolled in our Uganda trade school, and 7 women were enrolled in our Philippines trade school. Hundreds of girls across all of our program locations were trained in trafficking avoidance workshops.
MAJOR RECOGNITIONS. For the 15th year in a row, we’ve been awarded Platinum level status (their highest level) by Candid, the premier source for nonprofit information and transparency.
We were again rated a 5-star charity at Great Non-Profits this year, and received Charity Navigator’s top (4-star) rating for the 4th year running.
2025 YEAR-END CAMPAIGN. If we can reach our year-end goal, we’ll be able to make major improvements to our Philippines farmland, expand our Colombia trade school, and replenish our emergency fund to achieve other objectives outlined in our campaign.
Here’s the artist’s visualization of the proposed improvements to our Philippines farmland!
And in more good news, we’re happy to remind you that we have a matching challenge in place!
