The Jericho Foundation, on a mission to restore HOPE in Bosnia, one child at a time.
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 have received college scholarships, participated in U.S. exchange programs and learned to walk again with the assistance of new prosthetic limbs.
- One by one Jericho is restoring HOPE based upon a commitment made to a child over 14 years ago.
We will never forget the children of Bosnia.
Please consider participation in one of our HOPE initiatives
Healthcare
Jericho supports the Miracles Center for Prosthesis and Care which provides prosthetic limbs for people in Bosnia so they may lead a fulfilling and productive life. Jericho also promotes basic child health awareness by providing vitamins and non-prescription medicines.
Opportunity
Jericho has established a student exchange program where deserving teens from Bosnia stay with families in the US. These visits promote connection, bonding and often lasting relationships which remind us all that they will never be forgotten. Jericho also partners with local Bosnian handcrafters offering them a distribution opportunity into the United States to provide income. 100% of the sales revenue is returned to the individual crafter.
Personal Relationships
Through the annual Project HOPE trip which offers opportunities to serve in Bosnia, the student exchange program, a new Pen Pal opportunity which connects the residents of an orphanage with students in the United States and many other support initiatives, Jericho is committed to building lasting friendships and mentoring relationships.
Education
Jericho offers college scholarships to students in Bosnia who are otherwise unable to pursue higher education. Each student is carefully selected based upon their academic performance, personal qualifications. Every student is monitored, mentored, encouraged and supported along the way.
The Jericho Foundation operates in the spirit of God’s command to "love your neighbor as yourself" Luke 10:27.
