Heart of Hope - A Sanctuary for Women

Heart of Hope is the only residential maternity home and school in NWLA dedicated to the care of young women and their unborn babies. We provide prenatal, educational, emotional, and spiritual care. Our young women are supported by a fun-loving Christian couple along with additional key staff members who model a traditional family. In this safe environment where mistakes are met with unconditional love, our young women are released into a purpose driven life and become contributing members of our community. While continuing their education, our teenage moms are deciding on their parenting choice; to be a single mom or place their child in adoption.  We are creating a better future for young families and ending the cycle of school dropouts, government dependency and life of poverty.
