Campaign Story

Giving Hope Network works in partnership with Eleos International Ministries to care for orphans in Ocna Mures, Romania. Through this partnership we have been able to invest in all aspects of our Framework for Transforming Lives.

The Ukrainian Relief Effort

War in Ukrainian has spread to surrounding countries without the infrastructure to support the many victims of such chaos. We are working with Sanctuary orphanage to take a stand to provide immediate food, shelter, clothing, and necessities for Ukrainian women & children who are fleeing Ukraine, and entering Romania at the Sighetu border. It will also provide transportation to area “host” homes – the homes of local Romanians who have opened up their homes & hearts to help Ukrainians during their time of crisis.

We also:

Provide aid to over 1,000 refugees who have settled in the Ocna Mures section of Transylvania.

and…

Provide food & water to those who continue to shelter-in-place in Ukraine.
