The Hope Center

You can help a child walk out healed, safe, and standing tall.

When cases are severe, a clinic visit is not enough. Children need time, careful treatment, meals, rest, and someone who will stay with them until healing holds. That is what the Hope Center is for.

What the Hope Center provides

Simple, steady care that helps healing last.

Medical care

Careful treatment and wound support over multiple days

Nutrition and rest

Meals, clean beds, and time to recover

Protection

A pair of protective shoes before returning home

Whole-person support

Emotional care that helps a child feel safe and seen

Care goes beyond medical treatment. It rebuilds confidence, helps kids feel seen and safe, and helps families move forward with strength.

The problem

Some children arrive unable to walk.

Jiggers can spread through a child’s foot, swelling and infection make every step painful. Many children stop walking. They miss school. They drop out of daily life.

What makes cases severe

Infection, deep pain, and repeated reinfestation. Families often feel overwhelmed and care can be out of reach.

What gets overlooked

The wounds can go deeper than the physical. Shame and stigma can follow a child long after the feet heal.

Impact snapshot

Joy stopped using her name.

When thirteen-year-old Joy arrived, she could barely walk. Kids in her village mocked her and called her “little duck.” Many in her community saw her as a curse. She stopped lifting her head.

What changed

Our team cared for her with gentleness and time. They removed more than seven hundred jiggers, treated infection, and provided healthy meals and protective shoes.

What happened next

A few weeks later, Joy walked out standing tall, living up to the name she once hid.
