Stories of Hope: Robert
Robert's family stands in front of their new home. He is caring for his brother, sister, and cousin.
Your gifts are empowering Robert to care for his family. After the death of his parents, Robert became the provider for his brother and sister. When he found out that a young cousin had no one to care for him, Robert took his cousin in as well.
Robert’s Giving Hope Journey began close to one year ago. Through Giving Hope, Robert is receiving excellent training from an orphaned teen who has completed his Giving Hope journey and is now a successful farmer in the community. This training will allow Robert to cultivate his land and provide for his family.
Like a parent, Robert is passing on all of the important life skills he is learning to his brother, sister, and cousin.
Giving Hope recently built and dedicated a home for Robert and his family. Members of his community, a local church, Robert’s Faith Working Group, Giving Hope staff, and a ZOE mission team gathered to surround them in joyful celebration. At the dedication, Robert was honored to accept a handmade, green prayer shawl on behalf of his young family.
