CHC Purpose: “Wholeness for Orphans”
Each of CHC’s programs attempts to restore wholeness to the brokenness that is orphanhood. We believe orphans have the greatest chances for success when they are surrounded by loving role models who remind them of their greatest worth and value in the eyes of God.
