Single Mothers Carrying It Alone
Parenting, financial pressure, emotional trauma, and sudden crises often hit all at once. What they need isn't just the next meal — they need relationships and support that help them stand firm again.

希望的錨
In war and brokenness, holding families together, walking with the next generation toward hope.
We believe real help isn't just solving one crisis — it's letting someone know, in their hardest moment: you are not alone.
WHY IT MATTERS
External crises may one day end, but anxiety, brokenness, and uncertainty often remain in the daily lives of families and young people.

After war, many young people still face anxiety, low spirits, and a lost sense of the future. What they truly need isn't just one more gathering — it's a place they can keep coming back to.
The love of the gospel needs to enter real, lived circumstances.
"It's not another activity — it's someone willing to stay and walk alongside."TWO PROJECTS · ONE HOPE
We walk two different paths alongside families and young people. What they share is a commitment to long-term relationship — so that in the most unstable moments, there is still somewhere to return to.

ONE FAMILY AT A TIME
Real help isn't just solving one meal — it's helping a family feel, once again, that they still have hope.
"I grew up in an orphanage. I never had family to depend on. What you've given me made me feel like I actually have a home."— Malvina
TRUST TAKES TIME
Real breakthroughs in ministry aren't just about finishing one event — they're built, piece by piece, across different cultures, languages, and ethnic groups, into understanding and trust.
Some doors only open, slowly, for those who stay long enough to wait.
2026 MID-YEAR FUNDING
Both projects are halfway through the year — but the core work of the second half still needs to be held up.
Figures based on the 2026 mid-year project report; actual execution and exchange rates may vary.
Amid war and inflation, families could immediately face the crisis of an empty pantry and overwhelming anxiety.
Young people would lose the safe harbor they need most amid instability, and the life guidance of front-line workers.
GIVE · PRAY · WALK TOGETHER
Every shopping voucher is one more portion of food on a family's table; every gift may be a piece of hope on a child's path forward; every prayer carries Christ's love to these families and young people.
You may designate your gift for "Anchor of Hope — Green Olive" or "Anchor of Hope — Anna" so it goes clearly toward the work it's meant for.
