The Here and Now

Extreme poverty, death, abuse, or cultural traditions sometimes leave a child without the care of a family. When these hardships happen, Homes of Love steps in.

Love opens its doors.

In Family Homes, in-country Christian parents receive support to provide for non-biological children's food, clothing, and hygiene needs. Family homes re-establish a sense of safety and security for hurting children.

How it Works

Family Home parents come from all different backgrounds, but they are all drawn to the cause of Christ in their communities. While some have their own biological children, others are single or adoptive parents looking to safely raise and support children in need. Homes of Love partners with the local church to identify and train these parents.

More Details

Homes of Love also provides for medical and dental care, school fees, and tutoring. Our partners in each country regularly visit homes to provide spiritual support, parental training, and encouragement.

Locations with Family Homes

Vietnam

Many parents have served faithfully for several years. One Vietnamese mother has raised 12 healthy girls over 11 years!

Zimbabwe

Because of Zimbabwe’s economic struggles, we also help parents with training and resources to start businesses that provide a steady source of food and income.

Love preserves families.

When a child loses a parent and there is a remaining parent or another relative who is safe and willing to care for the child, Homes of Love offers support to help the biological family stay together.  

How it Works

Our in-country partners develop relationships across neighborhoods and villages. As they visit, they discover families who have a need for HOL's partnership. We also take referrals from other nonprofits that work alongside us in-country.

More Details

Homes of Love families receive significant hands-on support in the form of weekly tutoring, Bible study, and parent training led by our partners. Our prayer is for the faith of both the caregivers and the children to grow.

Locations with Kinship Care

Vietnam

When possible, we provide support to help families stay together.

Zimbabwe

Nearly 20% (1.2 million) of all Zimbabwean children have lost at least one parent.

Cambodia

Homes of Love first expanded to Cambodia in 2014 with a vision to protect children at risk for trafficking.

Love shares the good news

Family Outreach allows Homes of Love to serve non-Christian parents and their children by offering supplemental food and tutoring, as well as spiritual mentoring. 

How it Works

In Cambodia, there is very little Christian influence. Our staff spend many hours with the friends and neighbors of our Homes of Love families sharing the Gospel and walking with them as they parent.

More Details

Family Outreach evolved from the personal ministry of our staff in Cambodia who desired to see more families come to know and follow Christ.

Locations with Family Outreach

Cambodia

Approximately 90% of the population is Buddhist. We currently work in three Cambodian cities with five staff members investing in our families there.

Are sibling groups placed together in homes?
When possible, we place siblings together.
Does Homes of Love bring children to Knoxville?
Although we operate from Knoxville, TN, we do not transport children outside of their home country. There are many safety and legal reasons for this. Our focus is on raising children in safe and loving homes within their own culture and community.
What are some of your success stories?
We are constantly humbled by the work God is doing in the lives of Homes of Love children! Across all three countries, there are many testimonies of protection, growth, and life change. Kids in our programs have gone on to get married, learn important trades, attend higher education, and start their own Christian families.
