Q:|What are the ages of the orphaned children you help? |
A:|Though on occasion we do care for older children, A Child's Hope Foundation primarily focuses on babies and infants (newborns to 6 year olds) for the following reasons:
 They are the most underserved group as a whole- Infants have the highest mortality rate among orphaned children
- Adoptive couples generally want to adopt infants
- Many orphanages cannot afford the high costs for formula, diapers, and skilled caregivers; which means many infants are neglected and malnourished
- Many orphanages can't give the intensive time needed for infant orphans, resulting in cases of attachment disorder
- The Foundation can provide a service to other orphanages and hospitals by caring for those children they are unable to care for
|
| Q:|Is A Child's Hope Foundation tax exempt? |
| A:|Yes, we are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt public charity. |
| Today, there are millions of children in underdeveloped countries who have no parents, food, clothing, or access to medical or emotional care. While the majority of these children are dying from malnutrition, their living conditions are so poor that even diaper rash can be deadly. This situation is not isolated; in fact, it is growing at an ever-increasing pace. |
