At Zion House Foundation, our mission is to transform lives and inspire hope in underserved communities through the gospel of salvation, through which we carry out other activities such as scholarships. Since our establishment in 2017, we have worked to alleviate poverty and foster brighter futures especially for abandoned children and assist some families in need.
From Hearts to Hands: Delivering Love in a Gift Box
In a world where small gestures can transform lives, Zion House Foundation brings a powerful message to life in partnership with the Operation Christmas Child project of the Billy Graham ministries: love is not just a feeling—it’s an action. “From Hearts to Hands” captures this sentiment beautifully as we deliver carefully prepared gift boxes to abandoned and underserved children in Yaoundé.
What’s Inside Each Gift Box?
Each box is thoughtfully curated to meet physical and emotional needs—bringing smiles, dignity, and the knowledge of the Greatest Gift which is JESUS. Thanks to our partnership with Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan’s Purse), these gift boxes are more than simple packages; they are messengers of care and hope.
- Practical Essentials: School supplies, clothing, hygiene items—essentials that meet immediate needs and help children thrive.
- A “Wow” Item: A special surprise—a toy, a book, or a much-deserved treat that sparks joy and wonder. Similar programs have shown how a single memorable item can light up a child’s face and stay with them long after.
The Journey: From Love to Logistics
Our hearts lead the way, but the journey from hands to hearts takes intentional planning:
- Careful Curation & Packing: Volunteers and staff thoughtfully choose items based on age, need, and gender—creating balance and personalization.
- Faithful Partnership: Collaborating with Samaritan’s Purse ensures safe packaging, age-appropriate distribution, and spiritual grounding, often including a booklet or Bible alongside the gift.
- Lasting Impact: These boxes do more than address physical needs—they affirm each child’s value, impart joy, and serve as a tangible reminder: “You are seen. You are loved.”
Why This Campaign Matters
- Embodies Our Values: Since our founding in 2017, Zion House Foundation has rooted its mission in love—transforming care into action across education, health, and socio-economic empowerment.
- Nurtures Hope in Vulnerable Children: For many abandoned children, this box is not just a gift—it’s a lifeline. It tells them they are not forgotten.
- Strengthens Community Bonds: Involving volunteers, partners, and supporters in the process deepens shared purpose and fosters compassion at every level.
Imagine This Moment
A young child unwraps their package. Their eyes widen as they discover a notebook, a toothbrush, and that unforgettable “wow” gift—a cherished toy peeking out of the box. In that instant, the abstract becomes tangible: love moving from hearts into hands, sparking hope where it’s needed most.
