Part I Line 1 and Part III Line 1 Description of Organization Mission:	Children's HopeChest, Inc. (Organization") is a nonprofit organization that helps highly vulnerable children overcome abandonment, poverty and violence. The Organization partners with churches, businesses, schools, and Christian communities. These sponsoring communities provide help, training and discipleship to vulnerable children, their families and their communities in highly impoverished areas. The Organization has active partnerships in Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Russia, Uganda and the United States. Funding for these partnerships comes, in part, from a monthly child sponsorship program. Individual child sponsors provide a $45/month donation during the year ended September 30, 2021, write letters, and pray for their sponsored child. This funding provides for direct survival needs such as food, water, clothing and basic medical care. It also helps fund educational and vocational support, voluntary Christian discipleship, income generating activities for the child's household, establishment of Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA's), child rights advocacy, grief and trauma assistance, as well as emotional guidance. These efforts are delivered through staffed "CarePoints" which are physical locations the children come to for assembly and program delivery. The Organization is registered to do business in Ethiopia as Children's HopeChest Ethiopia, which is a field office of the Organization. It is not a separate legal entity and operation activities are controlled by the same board of directors as the Organization.
