Refugees bring productivity to their host countries. They help enrich their local communities, creating a cultural diversity within the local population and helping nurture understanding and appreciation for social diversity.

  • “ Before joining the farm, I was depressed and lonely. I was always sick in my body and no medicine worked. After I started farming, I became alive again. Today I laugh with my family and I am not sick anymore.”

    ~ J.K , Gosheni Farmer

  • “ Gate of Hope has allowed me and my children to adapt and love our new home in America. It has helped us to succeed. When we first came, we felt like orphans. Everything was different and difficult. We did not know the language nor did we have the resources and skills necessary to live here. Gate of Hope changed it all."

    ~ M.A. Single mother

  • "And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God."

    ~ Hebrews 13:16
