Support Christ-centered care for Liberia’s most vulnerable children.

How It All Began: A Response to Deep Need

After Liberia’s brutal civil war, Emmanuel and Fatu Bimba began gathering children left orphaned in Monrovia. With no food, clothing, or education, 34 kids found shelter in a one-room home—and the beginnings of a new family.

Today, more than 150 children are nurtured across three Mission Homes supported by One Body One Hope. While redevelopment through relationship remains the heart of our mission, we know that orphan care is essential relief work—and a sacred responsibility.

Where We Serve: Our Mission Homes

In the wake of civil war, then again after a devastating Ebola outbreak, three children’s homes were founded to provide care for some of Liberia’s most vulnerable kids. These Mission Homes didn’t come from long-term planning—they came from urgent need, faithful response, and deeply personal relationships.

Each home has a unique story. But together, they reflect the heart of our calling: to love children in crisis with the kind of care that honors their dignity, values reunification, and provides lifelong support when needed.

The original OBOH home, Christ Our Hope, is located on the Dunbar Farm campus in Monrovia, alongside the flagship Vine School System of Christ.
- Home to 75–80 children, ranging from toddlers to young adults
- Children are supported through post-high school until they’re ready for independence
- Entire campus population: 110 full-time residents
- A vibrant site for both education and discipleship
This home came into OBOH’s care when the original American founders withdrew.
- Located near Roberts International Airport
- Led by Willimina Yalartai, a Liberian headmaster who requested OBOH’s support
- Home to 20–30 sponsored children, with many more living onsite
- Increased sponsorship would allow more children to receive full care
Founded in 2014 after the Ebola outbreak, COH North serves children orphaned or affected by the epidemic.
- Located in Lofa County, Liberia’s hardest-hit region
- Founded by Abraham and Agnus Bimba, Emmanuel’s brother and sister-in-law
- Home to 45–50 children, including several Ebola survivors with ongoing medical needs

Child Sponsorship That Reflects Covenant Community

Most organizations match sponsors with a single child. We do things differently.

At OBOH, representative sponsorship means your $60/month directly supports one of the children in our care—but without individual matching. Why?

Fluid population: Kids come and go as beds open and reunification becomes possible
Community focus: We want you to care deeply about the wellbeing of all 150+ children
Relational updates: You’ll receive monthly updates and rotating child spotlights

This model keeps kids safe, flexible, and prioritized by need—not paperwork.

What Your Sponsorship Provides

Your $60/month sponsorship ensures a child receives:

Food, clothing, and shelter
K–12 Christian education through VSSC
Medical care through our on-site nurse
Therapeutic support through our adolescent life coordinator
Ongoing care until independence—including post-high school transition

Your monthly gift helps us say yes to the next child in need—whether orphaned, abandoned, or living in unsafe conditions. When you give, you become part of a covenant community caring for the whole child, every step of the way.
