May Update

By Kaitie Newcomb | Communications & Development

On May 1, 2025, Special Hope Network turns 15 years old—and we can hardly believe it!

What began as a simple desire to care for children with intellectual disabilities in Zambia has grown into something much bigger than we imagined.

Through our Community Care Centers, Disability Advocacy Trainings, and now the launch of Finding Joy Zambia, we’ve been able to walk alongside thousands of children and families—offering practical help, care, and encouragement.

None of this would be possible without God’s faithfulness and your continued support.

We’ve seen so much growth, transformation, and hope over the last 15 years. We’ve also faced challenges that have strengthened our resolve and deepened our commitment to this work.

Through it all, you’ve stood with us—praying, giving, encouraging, and sharing this story with others.

Whether you’ve been with us from the very beginning or just joined the Special Hope family, we want to say thank you. You’ve made this possible.

Fifteen years in—and we’re just getting started.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

With gratitude,

Eric and Holly Nelson
