Children's homes
Asia Frontier Children's Hope Homes serve children who have been abandoned, orphaned, or experiencing other family disturbance. The children may come from areas where there is no access to a school, or they may not have a parent or extended family to care for them. The risk of being sold or taken for slave labor or sex trafficking is very high in Myanmar. At Asia Frontier Children's Hope Homes, the children are safe, loved, cared for and have the opportunity to go to school. For the first time in their lives they have dreams and aspirations for their futures. Many also experience the love of God in their lives, and healing from past hurts and traumas.

family-based child care
Nearly half of the children in our homes have at least one living parent or close relative. The biggest challenge facing most of these families is access to education: there may not be a school within walking distance, or they may not be able to afford the school fees and required uniform. Wouldn't it be better for the child and his/her family if this assistance could be given in the child's own home or community?
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does a child and his/her family qualify for this program?
Children are referred to us by a Jesus Foot Soldier, a pastor, or village head man. They are usually being raised by a single parent who is unable to work due to illness or disability and there are no other support systems available to them. The family is visited by the Program Director and needs are assessed.
How do you help the child and their family?
The most common need is financial assistance to be able to go to school. There may be healthcare needs to help the parent get back on their feet; the family may need food while the parent is not working. If the children are safe and loved, our desire is to help the parent meet their child's needs and keep the family together.
Can we sponsor a child in their family?
YES! $50 a month cover the child's school fees, materials, required uniform, and provides them with healthcare and food as needed. $30 a month will provide for an additional child in the same family.
