About Us
Since 2003, Children of Hope® has provided love, family, education, and a home to orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children in Kenya. We support them through college and encourage them as they transition into independent adulthood.
Our Mission
Working together with God, we establish and support children’s homes in Kenya, caring for orphaned and vulnerable children by:
- Creating a nurturing family environment
- Providing resources to meet their diverse and holistic developmental needs through early adulthood
Our Vision
At Children of Hope, we aspire to be a manifestation of Christ’s unconditional love and empower the children within our care to reach their full potential.
Our History
The vision for Children of Hope was born. With four biological children of their own, John and Sharna Coors adopted six children of varying ethnicities into their hearts and family.
John and Sharna traveled to Kenya and were exposed to the extreme heartbreak of orphaned children there. They became deeply involved in the growth and support of a home caring for orphaned and abandoned children in the Nairobi area.
Called by God to do more, John and Sharna founded Children of Hope. Their vision was to build a home where children would be well cared for.
Working with a local friend, the Coors chose a rural community whose orphaned children were in the most need of help. Ten acres of land were purchased, architectural plans were drawn up, and construction began on the first home.
The Kitalale Home opened its doors and welcomed the first five children with open arms.
Another children’s home in Kikuyu was officially adopted by Children of Hope and became a second home in the Children of Hope family.
About 100 children are currently being well cared for and loved thanks to the two Children of Hope homes.
