Vision Trips are a great way to see first-hand what Family Hope International is doing in Ethiopia and Kenya and why it works! 

 

We had an INCREDIBLE trip to Kenya and Ethiopia last year and we can’t wait to go back! This is truly a life-changing trip. We invite you to watch the video from recent vision trip team member Cassin Porter and scroll below for more photos from our recent trips.

Come to Africa and see our Embrace, Equip, Empower and Employ process at work. You will have the opportunity to meet waiting families, hear the testimony of sponsored families, see women working their micro-business and likely hear from a program graduate! Maybe you’ll even choose to sponsor a waiting family we meet while we are there!
