Child Sponsorship
When you sponsor a Hope Shines student, you’re directly impacting their day-to-day lives by helping provide them with hot meals, allowing them to attend school full-time, and get the resources and support they need to succeed. Child sponsorship does change lives by creating an emotional connection to those in need.

Student Service Trips
We partner with universities and high schools around the US for project-based and faculty-led trips to Rwanda.
