Dozens of orphaned Ukrainian children have been housed and protected in neighboring Romania thanks to Colorado-based Global Hope Foundation.
The non-profit foundation operates orphanages in Romania, Kenya and India. Romania borders Ukraine to the south and has been a major location for refugees from the Russian and Ukraine war.
“In the middle of the night we received 28 children under the age of seven,” said Randy Jessen, Executive Director of Global Hope. “It was a surprise. We weren’t expecting them to arrive.” “We had to find a place for them to live. They arrived with nothing. We had to clothe them,” Jessen told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas.
The name was inspired by the Bible, in which passage said Nehemiah rebuilt the walls around Jerusalem. Jessen said the new orphanage is now Global Hope’s way of building the displaced orphans a new home.
