Vatra Village, Moldova

Five family homes at Vatra Village, Moldova, where children grow up together — not in institutions, but in households, with parents, siblings, chores, school, and the ordinary rhythms of a real childhood. Vatra is not a program. It is home.

Promise House

Two new family homes are rising in Ungheni, Moldova — built for our youngest children, so the smallest ones have a family from the very start. The promise that began with one baby in 1990 is still being kept.

In their own words

I am beyond thankful for everything that has happened in my life, especially my TOH family.
Cristian, raised at The Orphan's Hands
I am so happy to be a child of God. I can’t imagine what my life would look like if I did not know about His love.
Marina, raised at The Orphan's Hands
It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was so happy to hear that someone would want to help me.

Philip & Chrissie Cameron

Married 40+ years. Building family together.

Philip carries the word — preaching, writing, and broadcasting on Daily Faith TV. Chrissie carries the load — meeting physical needs, coordinating the aid containers that ship to Moldova and Ukraine each year, and being “Mom” to every child who walks through the door.

Together they have spent more than three decades proving one thing: a child needs not a program, but a family that doesn't leave.

Stand with the children of Moldova and Ukraine.
