A Child's Hope Int'l began in the spring of 2008 after Larry Bergeron returned from a vision trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where he saw the orphan crisis face to face. The HIV/AIDS epidemic was sweeping across many countries in Africa, claiming the lives of one or both parents and orphaning millions of children. The tragic upward trend of the orphan crisis captivated Larry and his life would never be the same. Larry returned home, left his church pastor position , and founded A Child's Hope Int'l with the goal to engage and empower local churches to take up the mission of caring for these children who are referenced over forty times throughout Scripture.

Over the past 17 years, A Child's Hope Int'l has delivered over 60 million high protein meals, worked in 33 countries, assisted in over 80 clean water projects, provided weekend food security for children in the Cincinnati area, and hosted almost 200,000 volunteers from all walks of life. We have become a preferred venue for the general public to engage in hands-on volunteer projects where we have the privilege of sharing with them about the good news of Jesus, His care for the vulnerable, and His care for every guest who walks in our door.
