World Water Day

by Leave a Comment

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:37b-38

If you have ever traveled out of the United States, one of the first things you likely realize we take for granted is access to clean water.  It is hard to believe that today, there are still more than 2 billion people across the globe do not have access to clean and safe drinking water!

In Pakistan, women often walk several kilometers to the nearest well.  It takes a major part of the day to collect enough water for cooking, cleaning, washing and drinking.  Sadly, it is often a barrier to education because children have to assist in that chore.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors,

Five Wells were installed in 2023

to give access to clean water access to 1,150 individuals.
The gift of a well opens the door to many ministries for the Hope Team to care for those in need.

Each well costs only $250 to install but makes a lifetime of impact.
In honor of World Water Day, would you consider giving the gift of clean water?

Urgent Flood Relief

by Leave a Comment

Offering Hope in Challenging Times 

This month, many areas we serve in South Asia were inundated with monsoons that caused significant flooding.  One of the hardest hit areas is in Pakistan where we have many ongoing ministry projects. With one-third of the country under water, entire villages have been evacuated, the water forcing families to live in tents along the highways with little access to basic necessities.

The Hope Team was heartbroken to learn yesterday morning that the children and even the teacher at our newest Alpha School were among those displaced by the flooding.  Although the school still stands, homes in this region are made of mud and could not withstand the floodwaters. 

With families living in the open air, there is a dire need for food and mosquito nets to protect from rapidly rising issues with malaria and dengue fever.

Please join us in praying for resources, comfort and perseverance for those affected by the flooding, and that they will experience the love of God through those who aid them.

Your generous gifts to Global Hope Partners’ Compassion Fund are what allow the Hope Team to quickly respond to crises such as this. 

$30 provides a mosquito net and a week’s supply of food for a struggling family.

Together we can be a light in the world to those in need!

Alpha Home Alumni Update

Joy-filled Updates

Most of our Alpha Home Alumni maintain their connection with us, and with one another, long after they leave the home.  They gather as friends, brothers, and sisters to pray, network, and to celebrate life’s milestones.  So many of you have faithfully prayed and supported these young men and women from a very young age and we wanted to share some of their updates with you! 

We hope you are as proud of them as we are!

Nathan joined the Alpha Home when he was 3 years old after his father left, leaving his mother struggling to care for him.  He excelled in school and went on to receive his Bachelor Degree in Commerce.  Nathan is now pursuing his Master’s in Business Administration and has a wonderful job using his musical talent teaching young people.  We know God will continue to bless and use Nathan for His glory!

“I am thankful to God for his marvelous deeds. I am happy that God has given me an opportunity to go for higher education and also allowing me to have a job that will help me. I give thanks to the Hope Team for their support, prayer and encouragement throughout my journey. All glory to God for giving me these opportunities.”

WEDDINGS

Ajay is continuing to serve as a nurse in a local hospital – a dream that began after he joined the Alpha Home at age 8.  Ajay got married in June and we are thrilled to congratulate him and his new bride!

B. Anil’s wedding festivities last year served as a reunion for many of our alumni.  It was a beautiful celebration!

FAMILY UPDATES

In 1999, the Alpha Boys Home was blessed with not one, but TWO Anil Kumars, so we began to refer to them with their first initial as well!  D. Anil lived with us until 2014.  He earned his Bachelor of Technology degree and is working as a Senior Consultant for a technology solutions company.  He is married now and has a son named Daniel Prince who just celebrated his 2nd birthday!

B. Anil was one of the first boys to join the Alpha Home and lived with us from 1999 to 2014.  He also graduated with a Bachelor of Technology degree and is now working as a Point of Sale coordinator. Anil and his wife recently welcomed a son named Shreyansh!

Dass was a member of the Alpha Home from 1999 to 2019.  He is now working as the Warehouse Stock Manager for a food delivery service.  He is married and recently had a baby boy named Abhi!

Vijaya Shanthi joined the Alpha Girls Home in 1999 and studied from Lower Kindergarten to 10th grade.  She is working as a lab technician and is married with two beautiful children named Shreyansh and Samanvi!
