Standing beside each other

Oak trees are an amazing creation. They seem almost magical in their ability to grow a mighty oak tree from a tiny cute acorn. We often focus on the beauty of the tree or its acorns- but the most intriguing part might be the unseen part, its roots. The roots of the tree bring nourishment, protect against illness and drought, they even serve as an anchor when the wind blows. Without the roots, we don’t have the tree.

Oak tree roots in particular are unique. When all grown, the roots might be 4-7 times larger than the width of the tree. Even if there is devastation, like a fire, a new tree can sprout from the roots of the old tree.

2019 - The Year of Clean Water

We are thrilled for the opportunity to provide life saving water filters and hygiene training to our communities in Guatemala this summer. We will begin this project in June with 50 families in the community of Gerona.

Each water filter will last 10 years and provide an easy and effective way to purify water.

Our friends at Just One Africa have been using these filters in Kenya and we are thankful for their willingness to help us with our plan. Check out their video of how the filters work.

Each filter is $65. If you would like to be a part of this project, donate here.

Be sure to follow us on social media to catch all of the water filter updates to come!

Check out our NEW LOGO & WEBSITE!

In the Spring of 2018 our Board of Directors spent two days with our friend, Pam Morrison as she led us through Strategic Planning and Vision Casting. We knew that we needed to change our logo and as we shared our hearts about what Caroline's Promise does and why it exists, it became clear that our foundation is the entire chapter of Isaiah 61. Things started clicking and it became obvious that a tree would be part of our new logo and our Vision Statement became,

"Where Hope Grows and Communities Thrive"
We were able to develop our Mission, Vision, and Values. We walked away, excited about all that God has for the next season of ministry! For several years we have been blessed to receive pro bono marketing materials from SFW through their 24 hour Createathon. This December they created our new logo and brochure and we love them! Over the past few weeks our friend, Boni Russell (BoniDesign) has worked overtime to design our new website!
We are excited about 2019 and …
