Welcome to

HOPE & FAITH HOME FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN

We provide care, therapy, education, and protection for vulnerable children with special needs, restoring dignity, hope, and brighter futures.

Hope and Faith Home for Special Children began as a quiet act of obedience and a firm refusal to accept neglect as destiny. From its earliest days the Home has stood for rescue, rehabilitation, reintegration, resocialization, and prevention. It was founded to reclaim children and adults living with disability who had been hidden away, chained, abandoned, or left to survive on the streets. This narrative explains who we are, why we were started, how we operate, and the biblical convictions that anchor our work  for anyone who wishes to understand the heart and purpose behind Hope and Faith.

Message from the Founder

I am Marion Karimi, founder of Hope and Faith Home for Special Children. Growing up with family members who had disabilities, I witnessed neglect, stigma, and suffering that no child should face. I felt a clear calling from God to protect, care for, and empower vulnerable children. Guided by faith, perseverance, and love, I established this Home in 2005 to create a safe and nurturing place where children with special needs can thrive. Every day, we restore hope, dignity, and opportunity to those who need it most.  Read More

But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

–  Mathew 6:3-4

What We Do

Hope and Faith Home for Special Children operates through five core functions guided by the Rescue, Rehabilitation, Reintegration, Resocialization, and Prevention framework. Together, these functions form a continuous and compassionate model of care that restores dignity, safety, and hope to children and adults with disabilities.

1. Rescue

We identify and rescue children and adults living in neglectful or unsafe conditions. Working with communities and authorities, we provide immediate protection, medical care, food, hygiene support, and safe accommodation to restore safety and dignity.

2. Rehabilitation

Our rehabilitation program improves physical health and daily functioning through medical care, physiotherapy, mobility training, assistive devices, proper nutrition, and hygiene routines, supporting children and adults with disabilities to regain strength, comfort, and independence.

3. Reintegration

We support safe family tracing and reunification through professional assessments and caregiver preparation. When reunification is not possible, we develop alternative long term solutions including foster care, vocational pathways, or residential care based on individual needs.

4. Resocialization

We promote social inclusion by developing communication, confidence, and life skills through group activities, play, therapy, literacy, and creative sessions that help children and adults transition from isolation to meaningful participation in community life.

5. Prevention

Our prevention efforts focus on disability awareness, stigma reduction, caregiver training, and community education. Through outreach, counseling, and referrals, we strengthen family and community support systems to reduce neglect, abandonment, and abuse.
