10 boys welcomed to new safe home at our Compassionate Hope Tebow Village of Hope campus

PHILIPPINES, May 2025—We’re excited to share that the first of four new safe homes, funded by Demi’s 27th birthday “Everlasting Crown” campaign, has opened at one of our Compassionate Hope Tebow Village of Hope campuses in the Philippines! 

This first home, “Josiah's Home,” is a safe refuge for boys who are survivors of child sexual exploitation. This home helps us expand our reach and get to more lives. With the addition of “Josiah’s Home,” our campus now has five safe homes in total and will allow us to love and care for up to 82 children. We’re grateful for the opportunity to continue to create a safe place where hope and healing can take place! 

"The need for homes like ours is immense, especially for boys who often have nowhere to turn. Our staff embraces these children with the love of Christ, becoming the parents they desperately need. With proper love, true healing and transformation begin." - Rev. Stephen Henson, National Director of Compassionate Hope Philippines 

At Compassionate Hope Tebow Village of Hope, each child is cared for physically, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, and socially while under the care of loving house parents and other staff trained in trauma-informed care. 

What sets this campus apart is its unique model of care: mixed-gender sibling survivors of all ages are able to stay together on our campus, rather than being separated — the first campus of its kind in the Philippines. Sadly, the majority of perpetrators of child sexual exploitation are family members. Allowing siblings who have endured this trauma to remain together during their healing process helps strengthen their sense of security and support. 

In addition to the safe homes, our campus includes a Christian school where children receive an education and are supported as they pursue a university degree or vocational training. There is also a church on the campus, where children, staff, and community members can worship, learn, and grow together. 

We are so grateful to our TTF giving family for helping bring hope and healing to children who have been sexually exploited or trafficked in Asia and across the globe! We remain committed to fighting for the world’s Most Vulnerable People – the real MVPs—until all are loved and all are free.

Join our fight for the world’s Most Vulnerable People—the real MVPs—today!
