How We Help

The Jericho Foundation came to life when one woman responded to a child's simple but powerful request, "Please don't forget me."

  • One by one, individuals and businesses have joined the cause.
  • One by one, deserving children are being awarded college scholarships, receiving prosthetic limbs, and participating in U.S. exchange and college internship programs.
  • One by one, Jericho is restoring HOPE based upon this commitment made to a child over 16 years ago.

The Balkan War of 1992–1995 is forgotten history to most of the world, but it will always feel like yesterday to Bosnians. JERICHO will never forget the children of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

Project HOPE Trip

Destination: Bosnia

Each spring, the Jericho Foundation assembles a unique team for the annual summer trip to the Balkan country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Prior to departure, the team meets several times for training to learn about BiH and the people that we will serve. Throughout the trip, we foster relationships, broaden educational perspectives, and increase language skills of children from an orphanage, college students and a Roma settlement (gypsies). We spend time at Miracles Clinic encouraging children who have received prosthetic limbs. One of the highlights of our trip is the time devoted to children at the orphanage. View photos and video of our past team trips. Participates return with new knowledge, cultural understanding, personal growth and lifelong friends. Consider joining us for this life-impacting experience.Contact us for an application.

This gathering has become one of West Michigan’s most sought after celebrations and quickly sells out.

Plan to join us for a night of delicious food, great music, and fun as you bid on a wide array of amazing items. The proceeds from this major fundraiser provide a significant portion of our annual budget. Tickets will go on sale Monday, September 10, 2012. As in previous years, you will be able to purchase individual tickets or sponsor an entire table. Watch this website for information updates.
