Frequently Asked Questions
Our children and staff in Africa are also staying home and practicing social distancing during this Coronavirus outbreak. The difference is, they don’t have fridges and pantries stocked with food. Most do not have running water, and their families are crammed into tiny, rundown shacks. Many of our children and their families have compromised immune systems, so this virus could be very dangerous to them. We are still checking in on them and delivering food packages to those who need it. Thank you for standing with us during COVID-19.
As of right now, all seven countries that we work in have cases of COVID-19. Thankfully, the case numbers are low at this time, with the exception of South Africa. You can see the exact numbers by visiting the World Health Organization and searching Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, eSwatini, Namibia, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Yes, more than ever! Though we are not able to meet face to face with your sponsored child during this time, we are still caring for them by making sure they have enough food to eat, delivering food packages, health kits, and more.
At this time, we are pleased to say that there are NO confirmed cases of COVID-19 within our Christ’s Hope children and staff in Africa. Pray with us that their heath continues.
We will do our best to deliver letters to the children, but understand because of the situation, they may be delayed or may not get to them at all until the shut down is over. However, we do encourage you to still write to your child during this time to encourage them! Whether they get it now, or once this is all over, we know it will mean so much to them to know you have been thinking of them throughout the outbreak!
Our CareGivers and staff are working from home. This time is allowing them to get caught up and be proactive on bookkeeping, record keeping, and lesson plans.
