Blessing HOUSE OF HOPE This Christmas

Through December 31st

Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful time of the year. A time to celebrate that Jesus came to be WITH US! For the 25 years of SERV’s mission, that message of hope has been at the heart of everything we do, and we continue to carry His light into the remote corners of the world.

As we come to the close of another remarkable year at SERV International, we have an opportunity to meet some of the most urgent needs at our House of Hope orphanage in Kenya. Since opening in 2008, House of Hope has become so much more than a refuge. It’s a home where rescued children are restored, nurtured, and surrounded by the love of Christ. It’s also the launching point for our ministry outreach across northwest Kenya near the borders of Sudan, Ethiopia and Uganda, where we use food as a platform to share Christ.

We fully understand you have many choices of where you could extend your generosity. But when you say “yes” to House of Hope, here’s how your giving will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our 82 children, and strengthen SERV’s ministry in Kenya:

Seasonal clothing and Christmas gifts to bring comfort and joy during the holidays. $5,830.00 USD

Fresh bedding and hygiene essentials that protect the children’s health and well-being. $3,350.00 USD

Improved dining furniture to create a shared space where community is strengthened every day. $1,400.00 USD

Ongoing clothing updates so each child has what they need throughout the year. $8,900.00 USD

New utensils and bedding for transitional housing, supporting the students who are preparing for a more independent life. $980.00 USD

Insurance coverage for our vehicles—two Land Cruisers and five motorbikes—which carry our teams across Turkana to share the Gospel. $2,580.00 USD

Armored electrical cabling to ensure safe, stable power for the compound. $2,970.00 USD

Fresh paint and facility maintenance to preserve and brighten the children’s environment. $9,690.00 USD

A secure perimeter fence for the girls’ dormitory. $2,720.00 USD

Greenhouse repairs that keep our gardening efforts thriving and support sustainable food production. $2,330.00 USD

An annual educational trip to expand learning beyond the classroom. $6,040.00 USD

Solar power installations to move the facility toward full energy independence.
$10,470.00 USD

Musical instruments and cultural attire to encourage creativity and expression.
$1,630.00 USD

Playground repairs and upgrades to keep outdoor spaces safe and inviting.
$1,170.00 USD

And we have some exciting news:

Through the generosity of faithful partners, every gift will be matched up to $60,000, doubling your impact!

But at its core, this is about far more than projects or supplies. When you choose to give to House of Hope, you’re helping shape young lives rescued from extreme poverty with the truth of Jesus. Each child grows up knowing they are loved by God, learning His Word, and discovering what it means to walk with Him. Our hope is that one day they will carry that
message into the world — into their villages, new communities, and even nations that desperately need the light of Christ.

Every gift is doubled through the matching challenge. Will you join us in blessing these children this Christmas?

Thank you for being a partner of SERV International. Your compassion, faith, and prayers are making an eternal impact.
