Host Orphans Worldwide
Our Mission: To Bring hope to orphaned children across the world.
Because every child deserves a family.
What do our families say?
“It was an unforgettable experience. We have grown so much as a family because of this hosting experience. I hope that other families who are hesitant (like we were), find the courage from God to step up and host because it has changed our lives forever for the better.”
Pulci family – New York
“HOW is a fabulous organization that allows families in the United States to provide hope, love, and opportunities for orphans! Working with HOW has changed not only the lives of the children we have hosted, but also our lives as well! We feel so blessed to be connected with this group!”
Kelly family – Alabama
“After following a hosting organization on social media for several years, our family decided to go ahead and do what God was putting so heavy on our hearts: step out in faith and host a child so that they wouldn’t have to spend the holidays in their orphanage. As a family with two young children, we were nervous about hosting a teenage boy, but it turned out to be the best thing that we could have done!”
Pierson family – Texas
“We absolutely loved our hosting experience through HOW! The executive team was always available and so supportive. We learned so much during this process and fell in love with the sweet orphan we hosted. We will definitely be hosting again!”
Davies family – Maine
About HOW and Orphan Hosting
Host Orphans Worldwide is a Christ-centered 501(c)3 nonprofit orphan hosting ministry. We believe God’s people are uniquely called and equipped to serve His purposes for orphaned children and to encourage each other in the body of Christ carrying out this mission. We seek to honor Christ and His Word in our effort to serve children through orphan hosting. Our desire is for all children to be in loving families and we trust and believe through prayer, He will guide our paths and decisions. We give God the Glory as we pursue fulfilling His purposes.
Our utmost desire is to reach children that live in orphanages worldwide and see them find their forever families. We work closely with orphanages, interview every child, and set high standards for families to ensure the best fit for each child we host. As a result of the education, training, and support we provide our families, we have established ourselves as a premier orphan hosting organization. HOW offers 4-10 week hosting sessions, either over their Christmas or Summer break.
The HOW team consists of compassionate individuals who have many years of experience with hosting, adoption, and other orphan care ministries. Because of this, we are able to provide support that results in the best possible experience for both our families and their host children. Our Executive Team meets regularly to discuss current needs and we assign a family coach to assist each family through the duration of the hosting session.
