Nehemiah’s Restoration is helping to “Stop the Cycle of Poverty” by liberating orphans from the hopelessness left them from the untimely death of their parents.  Through the use of our seven point program, these orphaned children are being kept off the streets, out of orphanages and supported in their extended-families homes in the most heavily HIV affected areas of the world.
