ABOUT US
The purpose of Hope Garden is to make a sustainable long-lasting
impact in the lives of children in vulnerable communities by giving them safer, healthier, and happier lives. We will continue to share love and offer hope among children, families and communities in The Bahamas.
Isaiah 58, 10-12. NIV
10. And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
11. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
12. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings."
