Living Hope The Organization and Who We Are
Children like these, have been abandoned by
family and society
They live on the street, in sewers or in any
place that is capable of providing the most
meager shelter.
They struggle daily to find enough food and
shelter to survive.

Rehabilitation Society works to give these
children a chance.

Summary
Mathew 25 35-36 - I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me
drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you
visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.
