Nobody's Child is a program that builds and operates orphanages in poor countries. OHF has a 120 children orphanage in Prey Veng, Cambodia and a smaller 30 children orphanage in Kathmandu, Nepal. We hope to build a third one in Luang Prabang, Laos and have 10 orphanages cum community outreach centres by 2014. The orphanages are under OHF direct management control and where possible is registered in the country of operation as Operation Hope Foundation. |

Nobody's Child is OHF star program. Hope Village Prey Veng (Cambodia) has been in operation for over 3 years and have a capacity to house 120 children. More photos about HVPV can be seen from our web site. We ask that you visit HVPV because words cannot describe the “atmosphere”, the feeling of happiness and the joy shown on the faces of the children. We are not a charity that looks after orphans but one that loves them and treat each child as precious and beautiful. We ask that you visit Hope Trust Nepal (HTN) in Kathmandu and see how well the children are treated. We take pride in the way we treat and look after the children. We are proud of the way we manage the homes to ensure it is cost-effective, minimise wastage and have proper policies and procedures. |

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. - James 1:27
Be an OHF Child Sponsor

“Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.” (Proverbs 3:27). In this spirit, it was only natural for me to support the orphaned children, when I first heard about OHF during a presentation by founder Robert Kee. Having been involved with a children’s home in Singapore as well, my heart has always been with the needy and poor, in particular those, who are unable to look after themselves and who need guidance and support through others.
Soon after I took up sponsorship for some of the children, I had the wonderful and rewarding opportunity to make a trip to Hope Village Prey Veng, where I found myself quickly engaged with the residents, some of which shared very moving stories from their lives and how they came to the orphanage. It is hard to imagine what a young child has to endure when for example both parents as well as two other siblings die within a short period of time and suddenly being left behind all by itself. Or parents dying of AIDS or malaria in front of their children’s eyes, who are too young to support themselves. And yet there was a lot of hope and faith inside those children, which touched me and which was a great encouragement to provide further help. I see them growing up in an environment, where they are not only provided with education to be prepared for their lives after school, but also where loving Christian care and welfare is extended through the staff at the orphanage. When I visit Prey Veng, I stand in front of tuition classes myself, and the children’s discipline and motivation to learn is amazing. Their zeal to seek the Lord at the small village church on Sundays is an even bigger inspiration. It is the personal experience and prospect of granting these children a future that should prod us to give a little blessing to the ones who are not as blessed as we are but who deserve better. To nurture the children’s full potential, ingrained with good Christian character to be happy and responsible members of their community. “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6). I had great dreams when I was young and so have these children; let us do our part to make those dreams happen! - Michael S. Anacker, OHF Child Sponsor |
