Too many children in Ghana are growing up without access to safe housing, education, healthcare, or clean water. At Point Hope, we believe lasting change happens when we care for both children and their families. By walking alongside parents and local leaders, we create programs that strengthen entire communities — so every child can grow up loved, educated, and prepared for a brighter future.

Every child deserves a loving home, access to food and clean water, education, and the chance to dream. We believe that when parents are equipped and supported, their children flourish. That’s why we invest in both children and caregivers — helping families gain the tools and confidence to create lasting change from within.

100% of your donation supports programs in Ghana — never administrative costs.

We partner directly with local leaders to ensure every project is community-owned and sustainable.

We measure success not by numbers alone, but by thriving children and empowered families.

Point Hope was founded in 2004 by Delilah Rene, who felt a deep calling to be a voice for those the world often overlooks. Known for her empathy and connection to people, Delilah used her national platform to shine a light on children and families in need — turning compassion into action.

What began as one woman’s mission to help foster children and vulnerable youth has grown into an international effort bringing hope to Ghana. Her belief that “every child deserves to be seen, heard, and valued” remains at the heart of everything Point Hope does today.

Delilah continues to guide the organization’s vision, ensuring that every program, every donation, and every partnership serves one purpose: to empower families and create lasting change from within.

While Point Hope’s primary mission centers on children and families in Ghana, our heart for service also extends to communities here in the United States.

Through our Point Hope Chapters, volunteers across the country bring compassion into action — supporting foster children, adoption awareness, and youth in need. Programs like Teenista give girls in foster care the chance to feel seen, valued, and celebrated through mentoring and confidence-building experiences.

Each Chapter has the flexibility to serve their local communities in ways that reflect Point Hope’s global mission — offering hope, dignity, and love where it’s needed most.

Every November, Point Hope chapters also honor National Adoption Month, encouraging families and individuals to reflect on the power of belonging. In past years, this effort was tied to a month-long “Being Thankful” campaign — a tradition we plan to continue, reminding us that gratitude and giving are deeply connected.
