OptioVillage-Ghana

11/03/2025

We’re just a week away from heading to Ghana — and one of the biggest things on our hearts this year is the new home for the children at Assurance of Hope.

Right now, 75 kids and 15 staff share rooms that are too small but full of love. It’s time to give them space that’s safe, steady, and truly theirs.

This trip, we’re taking the next steps toward building that home.

Here’s how you can be part of it:
💙 $100 – one child's bed
💙 $250 – bricks and mortar for one wall
💙 $500 – materials for a room section
💙 $1,000 – a cornerstone for the new foundation

Your gift will help us start something that lasts — a place built with love, where children can grow and belong.

Deliverance School is home to over 300 children who show up ready to learn — even when supplies are scarce and desks are shared.

We’ll be visiting them next month to bring food, school supplies, and hygiene kits — simple things that make a big difference in their daily lives.

Here’s what your one-time gift can do:
💙 $25 – school supplies or hygiene kits for 2 kids
💙 $50 – notebooks, pencils, and snacks for 5 kids
💙 $100 – meals and supplies for a full classroom for a week
💙 $250 – covers one classroom for the entire month

Our goal this week is to provide for children before we arrive on November 12.

Thank you for helping us show up ready — so every child has what they need to learn, laugh, and grow. 💙

There are 40 widows we’ll visit in Chorkor, Ghana next month.

They’ve lost husbands and, in many cases, everything else — yet they greet us with songs and smiles that feel like pure faith.

Our goal this week is simple: cover food and medicine for all 40 widows before we leave on November 12.

💙 $50 – a week of food + medicine for one widow
💙 $200 – supports four widows for a month
💙 $500 – helps cover 10 widows — a full table of meals

If you’d like to stand with one of them, you can give here: OptioVillage.org/donate

Every donation helps us buy food and medicine from local pharmacies — safe, fast, and in the community where they live.

Thank you for helping us remind these women they’re not forgotten. 💙

$65.
That’s one dinner here.
It’s a month of medicine there.

On every trip we encounter illness and wounds - children with malaria, infections, coughs, and burns.

We regularly get messages from the caregivers asking for help to treat simple things: a headache, a skin rash, a wound that won’t heal.

In Ghana, $65 buys over $300 worth of medicine. Enough to care for 15–30 children when sickness strikes.

We buy from trusted Ghanaian pharmacies. It’s faster, safer, and stretches every dollar five times farther.

Imagine not having a way to treat a fever or a small cut.
Then imagine being the person who makes healing possible.

Upcoming Travel Dates: November 12-22.

We’re heading back to Ghana, November 12–22, and we need your help!

OptioVillage will be serving alongside:

Assurance of Hope Children’s Home – progressing the new property where 40+ children will find safety and stability.
Fern House Crisis Pregnancy Center – encouraging mothers and ministering to staff.
Deliverance School & the Widows of Chorkor – providing food, supplies, and hope.

This trip is about showing up with love, support, and practical help. On past trips, we’ve witnessed miracles — from helping a little girl burned in a fire take steps again, to providing life-changing care for a young woman once outcast because of a goiter. Your support makes these stories possible. 💛
