Defenseless children are often placed into precarious situations. Children are vulnerable and should have the opportunity for love, family, medical care, and education. Armor of Hope Foundation is dedicated to meeting the needs of vulnerable children. We partner with organizations worldwide that provide support services to help them become self-sustaining, from building a well, a school, or housing. We want to be able to give financial grants to projects that preserve and build children, families, and communities.
