Ukraine's
New Horizon
In Odessa, Ukraine, Horizons Foundation
partnered with World Hope International - Canada to
purchase Hope House setting on two parcels of property.
During 2004 a larger piece of property came available
behind Hope House and Horizons Foundation purchased
this farming location. There is still one contiguous
piece of property to be purchased when it becomes available
at a reasonable price.
Just before Christmas 2003, seven
former street children and a new 'mom and dad' moved
into Hope House along with all new furniture. During
2004, two more children were added to the home and in
late 2004 Hope House was honored by the Ukrainian Deputy
Minister having national oversight over orphaned children
as being one of the top six facilities in Ukraine. During
January 2005, two more children were brought into the
home, bringing the family size to 11.
The primary projects for Hope House
in 2005 include fencing the piece of farming property
($3200) and purchasing a small tractor and trailer ($2600).
Hope House now has almost 3 acres of tillable property.
